Answer the following questions using the Bohr model of thehydrogen atom.

a) A hydrogen atom is the n = 3 excited state when its electronabsorbs a photon of energy 4.40 eV. Draw a diagram roughly toscale, of relevant energy levels for this situation. Make sure toshow and label the initial energy of the H atom in the n=3 state,the energy level at which this atom loses its electron, and kineticenergy of the electron.

b)What is the kinetic energy of the resulting free electron?(eV)

c) If instead of absorbing a photon, the atom in the n=3 levelde-excites to the ground state (n=1), what is the wavelength (innm) and energy (in e V) of the emitted photon?

d) What would immediately happen to both the photon and theelectron if an H atom originally in the ground state is illuminatedby a photon of energy: i)10.2 eV, ii) 10.4 eV and iii) 15.0 eV?
