Consider the following four transitions in a hydrogen atom: (i) ni = 2, nf = 6 (ii)

Question:

Consider the following four transitions in a hydrogen atom:

(i) ni = 2, nf = 6

(ii) ni = 2, nf = 8

(iii) ni = 7, nf = 8

(iv) ni = 6, nf = 2

Find 

(a) The longest- and 

(b) The shortest-wavelength photon that can be emitted or absorbed by these transitions. Give the value of the wavelength in each case. 

(c) For which of these transitions does the atom lose energy? Explain.
