Problem

An electron in a hydrogen atom falls from the n=5n = 5 level directly to the n=2n = 2 level. (i) Calculate the energy released in the transition, in electron-volts. (ii) Determine the approximate wavelength of the emitted photon and state whether it lies in the ultraviolet, visible, or infrared region. (1240 eV⋅nm=hc)(1240\,\text{eV·nm} = hc) a. (i) Energy released b. (ii) Wavelength and spectral region
