Neco 2017 Physics Objective / Multiple Choice Hard Difficulty
Question 32 NECO • 2017 • PHYSICS • objective

An electron in a hydrogen atom makes a transition from the \(n=5\) level to the \(n=2\) level and subsequently from \(n=2\) to the ground state \(n=1\). Using the Rydberg energy constant \(13.6\ \text{eV}\), determine (i) the total energy released in the two transitions, and (ii) the wavelength of a single photon that would carry the same total energy. Give the wavelength in nanometres to one decimal place.

Answer Options

A. 13.0 eV; 96.0 nm
B. 13.2 eV; 94.5 nm
Correct Answer C. 13.1 eV; 95.0 nm
D. 12.8 eV; 97.0 nm
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
13.1 eV; 95.0 nm
