Homework Statement
By using the Bohr model of the atom:
whats the lowest energy transition from the n=2 to n=1
state in Hydrogen (Z=1)
Homework Equations
En = -13.6eV*Z2/n2
The Attempt at a Solution
En = -13.6eV*Z2/n2
n=2 -> n=1 for hydrogen (Z=1)
E2= -13.6eV*12/22 =-3.4 eV
E1= -13.6eV*12/12 = -13.6 eV
deltaE = x1 – x2 = -3.4 + 13.5 = 10.2 eV
So 10.2 eV is the lowest energy transition from n2 to n1 right?
Does the constant change with elements?
