Answer:
It emits 1.64 x 10⁻¹⁸J of energy
Explanation:
The n = 1 is a lower quantum level compared to n = 2.
When a hydrogen atom moves from a higher level to a lower one, it simply emits the energy difference between the two levels.
- If a hydrogen atom moves from a lower energy level to a higher one such as from 1 to 2, they absorb the energy difference to attain the new excited state.
- So, for an electron in the hydrogen atom to move from a higher energy level to a lower one, it must emit 1.64 x 10⁻¹⁸J of energy.
