A photon of wavelength 12.7 x 10^15 m is emitted when it jumps from higher to n = 1, what will be a higher orbit?
Correct answer: C. n = 4
- A. n = 2
- B. n = 3
- C. n = 4
- D. n = 5
Explanation
Option A is wrong because n=2 will not be the higher orbit. Option B is wrong because n=3 will not be the higher orbit. Option: C Rydberg's Formula: Rydberg's Formula, 1 λ = Rh ( 1/n21 − 1/n22), relates the wavelength of a photon emitted or absorbed by an electron transition.

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
