  1. Question 1

    Q1. The energy of the photon emitted when an electron jumps from n = 5 to n = 2 is given by ΔE = E5 - E2.

    • A) 2.86 eV
    • B) 2.55 eV
    • C) 3.02 eV
    • D) 4.09 eV

    Answer: 2.86 eV

    Explanation: Calculate E5 and E2 using En = -13.6 / n² eV, then find ΔE = E5 - E2 = -0.544 - (-3.4) = 2.856 eV.
