Jerimiah Foley · Answer 1

1) n=1 - > n=2 : delta E = - 5+11 = 6. The answer is D

2) n=1 - > n=3 : delta E = - 2+11 = 9. The answer is B

3) n=1 - > n=4 : delta E = - 1+11 = 10. No solution available

4) n=1 - > infinity delta E = 11. The answer is A

5) not absorbed would be C, as there is no transition with delta E of 8.
