Question

A chemistry student learns that many spectral features exist for the hydrogen atom aside from the typically studied Lyman, Balmer, Paschen, Bracket, Pfund, and Humphrey series. The student decides to theoretically explore emissions to the n=8 state. What is the energy required to excite an electron from the ground state to the n=8 state? What would be the lowest frequency of light emitted from a transition to the n=8 state?

Explanation / Answer

Energy required = - 2.18 * 10-18 * (1/nf2 - 1/ni2) J = - 2.18 * (1/82 - 1/12) * 10-18 J = 2.146 * 10-18 J.
No light is emitted from the given transition.
