I FIGURE EX38.24 is an energy-level diagram for a simple atom. What wavelengths, in \mathrm{nm}, appear in the atom's (a) emission spectrum and (b) absorption spectrum?

n=3⟶E3=4.00eV

n=2-E2=1.50eV

FIGURE EX38.24 n=1-E_{1}=0.00 \mathrm{eV}

Short Answer

Expert verified

a)λ21=828.26nm,λ31=310.6nm,λ32=497.36nm

b) λ12=828.26nm,λ13=310.6nm

Step by step solution

01

part (a) step 1 : given information

We can start the solution with expression for wavelength from transition

λ=hcΔEλ21=hcE2-E1(transition2→1)λ21=6.63·10-34·3·1081.5·1.6·10-19-0(substitute)λ21=828.26nmλ31=hcE3-E1(transition3→1)λ31=6.63·10-34·3·1084·1.6·10-19-0(substitute)λ31=310.6nmλ32=hcE3-E2(transition3→2)λ32=6.63·10-34·3·1084·1.6·10-19-1.5·1.6·10-19(substitute)λ32=497.36nm

02

part (b) step 1 : given information

Atom is in the n=1 state, so we have only absorption from 1→2and 1→3. Expressions are same, so wavelengths are same.

1→2: λ12=828.26nm

1→3: λ13=310.6nm
