. The energy of shells in a hydrogen atom is calculated by the formula E = -Eo/n^2 where n is any integer, and Eo = 2.179X10^-18 J. So, the energy of a ground state electron in hydrogen is:
E = -2.179X10^-18 J / 1^2 = -2.179X10^-21 kJ
Consequently, to ionize this electron would require the input of 2.179X10^-21 kJ
2. The wavelength of a photon with this energy would be:
Energy = hc/wavelength
wavelength = hc/energy
wavelength = 6.626X10^-34 Js (2.998X10^8 m/s) / 2.179X10^-18 J = 9.116X10^-8 m
Converting to nanometers gives: 91.16 nm
3. Repeat the calculation in 1, but using n=5.
4. Repeat the calculation in 2 using the energy calculated in 3.
