question 24

Multiple Choice

A photon is emitted from a hydrogen atom that undergoes a transition from n = 3 to n = 2. Calculate the energy and wavelength of the photon. (The ionization energy of hydrogen is 13.6 eV, and h = 6.63 *10^-34 J.s, c = 3.00 * 10⁸ m/s, 1 eV = 1.60 *10^-19 J, and 1 nm = 10^-9 m)

• A) 2.21 eV, 563 nm
• B) 1.89 eV, 460 nm
• C) 2.58 * 10^-19 J, 658 nm
• D) 3.02 * 10^-19 J, 658 nm
