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.

1 answer

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
