MDCAT Physics MCQ #269

  1. Question 1

    Q1. The wavelength of the radiation emitted when an electron jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level is given by

    • A) λ = hc/ΔE
    • B) λ = ΔE/hc
    • C) λ = h/ΔE
    • D) λ = ΔE/h

    Answer: λ = hc/ΔE

    Explanation: Wavelength is given by λ = hc/ΔE; option B is incorrect because it's the reciprocal.
