OpenStudy (anonymous):

I ASKED HOW??? TELL ME THE FORMULA AND ALSO WE HAVE TO APPLY THE SAME FORMULA FOR ALL THE QUESTIONS??

OpenStudy (aaronq):

wow relax

OpenStudy (aaronq):

if it's for a hydrogen atom, use this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thx but Can u plz explain this by this question like n=5 and=2?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

|dw:1368626537500:dw| an electron is transiting (falling back down towards the nucleus) and is emitting a photon of energy proportional to the transit. with the formulae i posted, substitute in nf = final ; and ni = initial so ni=5, and nf=2 then solve algebraically

OpenStudy (aaronq):

R, rydberg constant, is 1.097x10^5 /cm

OpenStudy (aaronq):

this is only if it's for a hydrogen atom, it all little different if it's for another element
