Q: What is the wavelength of the photon emitted when a hydrogen atoms drops from n=2 to n=1? energy of photon E = 10.2 eV 1240 eV nm wavelength = ----------- = 121 nm 10.2 eV Q: Could you see that photon with your eye? No, since the human eye can sense light from about 400 nm to about 800 nm. This photon is in the ultraviolet.
