Question
An electron initially in the n = 2 energy level in a hydrogen atom absorbs a photon of light with a frequency of 6.167 x 1014 s-1. Calculate the new energy level the electron will occupy.
I am not sure how to being.

Answers
the change in energy level is
... energy = Planck's Const. * freq
the Balmer Series starts at n=2
look at the energy levels to see how far the electron jumped
