[QUOTE="fogvajarash, post: 4524549, member: 488429"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] Which statement(s) is (are) FALSE in comparing the electronic transition from ni=5 to nf=2 in H with that of electronic transition from ni = 2 to nf = 5 in Be[SUP]3+[/SUP]: a) The photon involved in the H transition lies in the visible spectrum while that involved in the Be[SUP]3+[/SUP] transition lies in the UV region of the spectrum. b) A photon of the same frequency is involved in both transitions, but it is emitted the H electron transition and absorbed in the Be[SUP]3+[/SUP] transition. c) All of the above. [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] I've discarded b) as it is obviously false. However, i think the final answer it's c), but apparently statement a) is true. I know that the H transition corresponds to the visible light region, but why does the Be[SUP]3+[/SUP] one lie in the UV region? (if it is from n = 2?) Or how do transitions in absorption of photons work? [/QUOTE]
