5. _________________
7. What is the wavelength, in nanometers (nm) of the photon associated with this jump?
7. _________________
8. A photon having an energy of 10.2 eV now strikes this hydrogen atom. Can the photon be absorbed
by the atom? If so, describe the electron jump that will occur. If not, explain why not.
