Modern Physics, Finding wave length problem! wee!
Ello ello!
I'm having troubles getting this table started. The directions are:
Use the Bohr diagram shown below to complete the following table.
Tell the wavelength and color of light emitted when the following energy level changes occur.
Orbital change
n = 4 to n = 1
Wavelength = ?
Color/Type
Select:
red/UV/green/IR/blue
Well once i find the wave length I'm pretty sure i can just look at the table, and find the correct color it corresponds too.
So if n = 4, that looks like its pointing to the UV spectrum, but what are those numbers under it? such as: 397 389 etc
So it goes to n =1, that means it is going to give off light. and n =1 looks lkike its still in the UV spectrum. so would i take the wave lengths:
397 - 389 = 8nm? I'm assuming those numbers are in nano meters. So the color type would be UV which i got right. But I'm still confused on the wave length. I subbmited 8nm as my answer and it was wrong.Any help would be great!
