A ground state hydrogen atom absorbs a photon of light having a wavelength of 93.7 nm.93.7 nm. What is the final state of the hydrogen atom? Values for physical constants can be found in the Chempendix.

Explanation:

Given that the formula is;

1/λ= R(1/nf^2 - 1/ni^2)

λ = 93.7 nm or 93.7 * 10^-9 m

R= 1.097 * 10^7 m-1

nf = ?

ni = 1

From;

ΔE = hc/λ

ΔE = 6.63 * 10^-34 * 3* 10^8/93.7 * 10^-9

ΔE = 21 * 10^-19 J

ΔE = -2.18 * 10^-18 J (1/nf^2 - 1/ni^2)

21 * 10^-19 J = -2.18 * 10^-18 J (1/nf^2 - 1/ni^2)

21 * 10^-19/-2.18 * 10^-18 = (1/nf^2 - 1/1^2)

-0.963 = (1/nf^2 - 1)

-0.963 + 1 = 1/nf^2

0.037 = 1/nf^2

nf^2 = (0.037)^-1

nf^2 = 27

nf = 5
