You Think You Have Identified a New Type of Atom $\times$

question 111

Multiple Choice

You think you have identified a new type of atom based on its atomic emission spectrum.Based on empirical data,it appears as though the energy levels of the atom are inversely proportional to n²,like hydrogen.When an electron falls from n_initial = 5 to n_final = 2,a 1.4 $\times$ 10^-18 J photon is emitted.What is the value of the Rydberg constant for this atom?

• A)6.7 \(\times\) 10^-18 J
• B)4.7 \(\times\) 10^-18 J
• C)4.2 \(\times\) 10^-18 J
• D)1.5 \(\times\) 10¹⁷ J
• E)2.1 \(\times\) 10¹⁷ J
