What is the wavelength of light, in nanometers, required to raise an electron in the O 7+

Question:

What is the wavelength of light, in nanometers, required to raise an electron in the O7+ ion from the n = 1 shell to the n = 2 shell?

Strategy

Use Equation 7.8 and the knowledge that a photon must have the same energy as the difference in energies of two quantized energy levels. Note that for an oxygen atom, Z = 8.

Equation 7.8En -ZB n -2.18 X 10-18 ZJ n
