An electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from n = 5 energy level to n = 1 energy level. What are the maximum number of photons that can be emitted ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the maximum number of photons that can be emitted when an electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from the n = 5 energy level to the n = 1 energy level, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Energy Levels**: The electron is transitioning from the n = 5 energy level to the n = 1 energy level. The energy levels of a hydrogen atom are quantized, and the electron can occupy these discrete levels. 2. **Understanding Photon Emission**: ...
