The Energy Levels and Frequency of a Particle: Calculating E, p, and KEmax
The more I look at it, the more I think it wasn't supposed to be a Hydrogen atom. But I tried this. Does it make sense? The original problem: 1. The diagram above shows the lowest four discrete energy levels of an atom. An electron in the n=4 state makes a transition to the n=2 state...- beibixx

Maximizing Energy Levels: Calculating Electron Transitions and Photon Momentum
Right..so to do this again. For part a) In order to find the energy level I use the equation E = (hc/lambda), with the given wavelength being 121.9nm and hc = 1.24 x 10^3eV*nm So E = [(121.9nm)/1.24 x 10^3eV*nm)] E=10.1723 For part b) E=pc, where p is momentum Rearranging this I...- beibixx

The Energy Levels and Frequency of a Particle: Calculating E, p, and KEmax
Let me know where my logic is off...Much thanks! so a) For T1: Transition -54.4-(-13.6) = 40.8 eV For T2: -13.6 - (-6.04) = 7.56 eV T3=? n4 = n3 so -6.04 + 7.56 = 1.52 eV T3 = 1.52 eV n4 = 1.52 eV b) E = pc c = 6.63 x 10^-34 JS p = E/c p = 1.52/ 6.63 x 10^-34 JS p=2.29 x 10^33 c) KEmax =...- beibixx

Maximizing Energy Levels: Calculating Electron Transitions and Photon Momentum
Thanks for the welcome! So after doing this I read the "energy levels not drawn to scale" and have a feeling that my assumption was wrong, but hey, you never know... so a) For T1: Transition -54.4-(-13.6) = 40.8 eV For T2: -13.6 - (-6.04) = 7.56 eV T3=? n4 = n3 so -6.04 + 7.56 = 1.52 eV T3...- beibixx

How Is Fringe Spacing Calculated in a Double-Slit Experiment?
1. The distance between two slits is 0.0500 nm and the distance to the screen is 2.50 m. What is the spacing between the central bright fringe and the first-order fringe? Use yellow light with a wavelength of 580.0 nm. Answers: a. 0.010m b. 0.029m c. 0.290m d. 0.10m e. 0.6m 2. y =LtanΘ...- beibixx

Maximizing Energy Levels: Calculating Electron Transitions and Photon Momentum
1. The diagram above shows the lowest four discrete energy levels of an atom. An electron in the n=4 state makes a transition to the n=2 state, emitting a photon of wavelength 121.9 nm (a)Calculate the energy level of the n=4 state. (b)Calbulate the momentum of the photon. The photon is then...- beibixx
