The electronic transition in a hydrogen atom from n = 7 to n = 2 emits electromagnetic radiation having a longer wavelength than a transition from n = 6 to n = 3.

I'll leave the answer rounded to three sig figs.

mark me brainlist

So, you can say that in a hydrogen atom, an electron located on  

n

i

=

2

that absorbs a photon of energy  

4.85

⋅

10

−

19

J

can make the jump to  

n

f

=

6

.

Explanation:

The question wants you to determine the energy that the incoming photon must have in order to allow the electron that absorbs it to jump from  

n

i

=

2

to  

n

f

=

6

.

A good starting point here will be to calculate the energy of the photon emitted when the electron falls from  

n

i

=

6

to  

n

f

=

2

by using the Rydberg equation.

the answer is   c.) 1575 j.
