Ch 37: Special Relativity
Chapter 36, Problem 39
The energy-level scheme for the hypothetical oneelectron element Searsium is shown in Fig. E39.25
. The potential energy is taken to be zero for an electron at an infinite distance from the nucleus. (b) An 18-eV photon is absorbed by a Searsium atom in its ground level. As the atom returns to its ground level, what possible energies can the emitted photons have? Assume that there can be transitions between all pairs of levels.Verified Solution
