Question:

The diagram below shows a ground-state hydrogen atom undergoing excitation to an excited state followed by relaxation.

2 1.

(a) What is fundamentally wrong with the diagram?

(b) Using the figure on page 133, calculate the amount of energy required to cause the above excitation.

(c) Illustrate at least two allowed relaxations from the excited state shown in the diagram.


Figure from page 133

Relaxation and Emission of Light n = 6 14.2 eV n = 5 14.1 eV n = 4 13.8 eV- n = 3 13.1 eV- Energy drop of 1.9
