The electronic transition in Na from 3p¹ to 3s¹ gives rise to a bright yellow-orange emission at 589.2 nm. What is the energy of this transition?

Answer :

The electronic transition in Na from 3p¹ to 3s¹ gives rise to a bright yellow-orange emission at 589.2 nm. The energy of this transition is 0.0017  × [tex]10^{-26}[/tex].

Atoms and molecules undergo electronic transitions as a result of electromagnetic radiation being absorbed or emitted (typically UV or visible). Planck's equation, E = h, relates the energy change connected to a transition to the frequency of the electromagnetic wave.

Three different types of electronic transitions can be taken into consideration: p, s, and n electron-based transitions. transitions involving electrons that transfer charges. D and F electron-based transitions (not covered in this Unit) Emission or absorption of electromagnetic radiation in the form of quantized particles known as photons results from electron transitions.

E= hC/ λ

where,

h = 6.626 × [tex]10^{-34}[/tex]

c = 2.99 × [tex]10^{8}[/tex] m/s

λ = 589.2 nm

E= 6.626 × [tex]10^{-34}[/tex] ×  2.99 × [tex]10^{8}[/tex] / 589.2

E= 19.81174 × [tex]10^{-26}[/tex]/ 589.2

E = 0.0017  × [tex]10^{-26}[/tex]
