As we did in class, determine Energy, frequency and wavelength for the following electron energy level changes in Bohr's model of the atom. Determine what part of the EM spectrum the wavelength corresponds to (if it is found in the visible spectrum, then identify what color the line should be). Also identify and explain whether energy is being absorbed or released in each case:
4 to 2, 5 to 2, 6 to 2, 4 to 3, 1 to 3.
In period 2, we did not finish the last calculation (wavelength for drop from 3 to 2). Here it is:
C/frequency = 3.00 x 108 m/sec divided by 4.57 x 1014 sec -1 which equals 6.56 x 10-7 m or 656 nm. This line is found in the visible spectrum. If you look at your colored-in visible spectrum, you will find that this wavelength matches the red line.
