12.13 It is given that a hydrogen atom de-excites from an upper level (n) to a lower level (n-1)
We have the relation for energy ( ) of radiation at level n as:
= h = ………………(i)
Where,
= Frequency of radiation at level n
h = Planck's constant
m = mass of hydrogen atom
e = charge of an electron
= Permittivity of free space
Now, the relation for energy ( ) of radiation at level (n-1) is given as:
= h = ………………(ii)
Where,
= Frequency of radiation at level (n-1)
Energy (E) released as a result of de-excitation:
E =
= …………………………(iii)
where,
= Frequency of radiation emitted
