Question: ( eV ) When an electron is in a higher energy state it may spontaneously emit a photon and return to its lower energy state.

(eV) When an electron is in a higher energy state it may spontaneously emit a photon and return to its lower energy state. These photons carry an energy equal to the energy difference between the levels. 19. If an electron is in the n =4 state which states can it fall down to by emitting a photon? 20. What are the photon energies that correspond to the above transitions? (eV) For a photon E = hc/ where h =4.1357 x 10-15 eVs is the Plancks constant, c =3.0 x 108 m/s is the speed of light and is the wavelength. 21. What is the wavelength of the photons found in question 19?(nm)]
