  1. Question 1

    Q1. The frequency of the spectral line emitted when an electron jumps from n = 3 to n = 2 is given by f = ΔE / h.

    • A) 4.57 × 10¹⁴ Hz
    • B) 3.29 × 10¹⁴ Hz
    • C) 2.46 × 10¹⁴ Hz
    • D) 1.89 × 10¹⁴ Hz

    Answer: 4.57 × 10¹⁴ Hz

    Explanation: Calculate ΔE = E3 - E2 = 1.89 eV, then convert to Joules and divide by h to get f = 4.57 × 10¹⁴ Hz.
