Question:
If energy is absorbed by a hydrogen atom in its ground state, the atom is excited to a higher energy state. For example, the excitation of an electron from n = 1 to n = 3 requires radiation with a wavelength of 102.6 nm. Which of the following transitions would require radiation of longer wave-length than this?
(a) n = 2 to n = 4
(b) n = 1 to n = 4
(c) n = 1 to n = 5
(d) n = 3 to n = 5
