The Bohr Equation The electron from a hydrogen atom drops from an excited state

Question

The Bohr Equation

The electron from a hydrogen atom drops from an excited state into the ground state. When an electron drops into a lower-energy orbital, energy is released in the form of electromagnetic radiation. (Figure 1)

Explanation / Answer

Energy E = -2.18 x 10^-18[1/n^2]

= -2.18 x 10^-18 x (1/4^2)

= -1.3625 x 10^-19 J

Is the energy for the electron in the excited state.
