The N = 5 Electronic Energy Level in a Hydrogen

Multiple Choice

The n = 5 electronic energy level in a hydrogen atom is 1.5 *10 ^{- 19} J higher than the n = 3 level. If an electron moves from the n = 5 level to the n = 3 level, then a photon of wavelength:

A) 1.3 nm, which is in the ultraviolet region, is emitted
B) 1.3 nm, which is in the ultraviolet region, is absorbed
C) 1,300 nm, which is in the infrared region, is absorbed
D) 1,300 nm, which is in the infrared region, is emitted
E) no light will be absorbed or emitted
