To
calculate the wavelength of the emitted light when an electron move from n=6 to n= 3,
we start by
calculating
the energy difference between these two levels
∆E = E6 – E3
E6=
E0 /n2
but E0
= -13.6 eV
= -13.6/36
=-0.377
E3 =
E0 /n2
=
-13.6/9
=-1.511
the energy difference is
∆E = E5 – E1
=-0.377-(-1.511)
= 1.1332
eV
from E =
hf = hc/λ
λ =hc/E
all
symbols have their usual meaning
λ =
(6.626× 10-34 × 3×108)/ 1.1332 eV
but
eV =1.6×10-19c
therefore
λ = (6.626× 10-34 × 3×108)/ 1.1332 ×1.6×10-19c
