Question

If the energy released by an electron jumped from the fourth orbit
to the third orbit of hydrogen is 'x', then what would be the
energy difference when it jumps from the third orbit to the second
orbit ?

Dear â€‹ 
Riya,

E=hcλ where e=energy, h=planck constant, c=speed of light in vaccumλ=wavelength of light or emitted light1λ=1
09×1071n12-1n22 m-1; where n1=ground E level; n2=higher energy levelso E=1
09×107×hc 1n12-1n22 J1
09×107×hc the value is constant in both casewhen  n1=3 &  n2=4E=1
09×107×hc19-116=5
3×105×hc=xso when n1=2 &  n2=3E=1
09×107×hc14-19=15 1×105×hc=2
85x (approx)then difference in energy will be (2
85-1)x=1 85 xRegards
