Homework Statement
Which of the following statements are true about the hydrogen atom's energy levels?
the ground state (n = 1) energy is -13.6 eV TRUE
the wavelength of a photon emitted from the n=3 to n=2 transition is longer than that emitted for the n=4 to n=3 transition FALSE
13.6 eV is enough energy to ionize hydrogen, which means exciting an electron from n = 1 up to zero energy TRUE
the hydrogen atom in its ground state can absorb a photon of any energy less than 13.6 eV FALSE
the hydrogen atom in its ground state cannot absorb a photon of any energy greater than 13.6 eV
TRUE
