Question

3. Use Rydberg's equation for the energy of an electron to find the equation for the CHANGE of energy of an electron undergoing a transition between energy levels (initial energy level of ni to a final energy level of nf). Eelectron = -2.178 x 10-18) Eelectron = ??? 14. The equation given in the handout for the relationship between the change in energy level of an electron and the photon absorbed or released is AE electron + Ephoton = 0. This implies that the energy of a photon can be negative; do you think that's the case? What would a "negative" photon energy tell us about the photon?

Answer 1
