Use this formula. Hydrogen's Z number is 1.
Frequency = (3.29 X 1015 Hz) * Z2 * (1/Nf2 - 1/Ni2)
Frequency = (3.29 X 1015 Hz) * 12 * (1/52 - 1/12)
= - 3.16 X 1015 Hertz
------------------------------can discard negative sign as this is usually used to find drops in orbital level

∙ 12y agoNeed element name. The Z number. Then this formula,
wavelength = (3.29 X 1015 Hz) *Z2 * (1/n2f - 1/n2i)
Then you can use this to find energy.
Energy = Plank's constant * wavelength

E= -13.6ev(1/4 - 1/25) = -13.6(25 -4)/100 = -2.856 ev

Is light emitted when an electron makes a transition to a lower energy level?
No, as energy is absorbed. When the reverse happens, the higher state to lower state, the electron is returning to its lower energy level ground state and energy is released in the form of a photon.
How is it possible for an electron go from the 3rd to the 4th energy level?
It is possible if the electron absorbs energy, for example, from a photon.
Which is the lowest possible energy state for a photon?
it would be that of the Ground State
What would cause an atom to not be in its ground state?
it gets hit by a photon of light energy and moves up to a higher energy orbital
Outermost principal energy level?
That, or they, would be the outer most shell electrons. The one(s) that get shared when elements bond. The one that moves out and up when struck by a photon. The one that makes light when it falls back down (gives up its' energy) to its' original shell. ADD: It is a valence electron.

What powers Star Wars blasters?
The laser that is shot out of a blaster is powered by a gaseous substance. It worked by introducing the energy to a medium. Most of the gas that was used was Tibanna Gas. When an atom of the medium was exited by the energy source the electrons that were available would transfer or "jump" to another, higher energy level. When they calmed down and returned to their original energy level a photon was released. The photon is what we would call the "laser beam". And there you have it.
If a certain fluorescing dye was2 emit a photon with an energy of 4.1x10-19J would this a suitable candidate for a light stick would this photon then be the same as the photon of a hydrogen atom?
no
Are sound waves in solar energy?
No, sound wave is translating wave of the matter. The solar energy is the wave carried by photon which is an energy (non-matter). There is no way a sound wave would be carried in the stream of photon.
Which color wavelengths would contain the most photon energy?
Red color
How the wavelengths of light emitted by an atom provide information about electron energy levels?
First, calculate the energy of the photon by using the wave length and then see which the energy differences between electon levels. If it is equal, then it is the right transition The energy of a photon is proportional to its frequency

It is possible if the electron absorbs energy, for example, from a photon.
Which is the lowest possible energy state for a photon?
it would be that of the Ground State
How would you use energy level in a sentence?
Energy level is Energy level.
How do you Calculate the energy associated with an electromagnetic wave of frequency 824 MHz?
Energy of a photon of this wave would be (planck's constant) ( frequency) E = hf = 5.46 * 10-22 J So to find the energy of the whole wave, multiply the energy of a photon to the no. of photons in a wave.
What would cause an atom to not be in its ground state?
it gets hit by a photon of light energy and moves up to a higher energy orbital
Are emission lines produced when an atom absorbs a photon of a specific energy?
No. Those would be absorption lines.
