    12.6 For ground level, n 1 = 1

    Let E 1 be the energy level at n 1 . From the relation

    E 1 = E n 1 2 where E = -13.6 eV, we get

    E 1 = E n 1 2 eV = -13.6 V

    For higher level, n 2 = 4

    Let E 2 be the energy level at n 2 . From the relation

    E 2 = E n 2 2 where E = -13.6 eV, we get

    E 2 = - 13.6 4 2 eV = -0.85 V

    The amount of energy absorbed by proton is given as E p = E 2 - E 1 = -0.85 + 13.6 eV = 12.75 eV = 12.75 * 1.6 * 10 - 19 J = 2.04 * 10 - 18 J

    For a photon of wavelength ? , the expression of energy is written as

    E p = h c ? , where

    c = speed of light = 3 * 10 8 m/s

    h = Planck's constant = 6.626 * 10 - 34 Js

    We get ? = h c E p = 6.626 * 10 - 34 * 3 * 10 8 2.04 * 10 - 18 = 9.744 * 10 - 8 m = 97.44 nm

    The frequency of the proton is given by,

    ? = c ? = 3 * 10 8 9.744 * 10 - 8 Hz= 3.1 * 10 15 Hz
