Question:

When a hydrogen atom is excited in a flame, a line of blue-violet light is emitted. This happens when an electron makes a transition between the n = 5 and the n = 2 orbit of the atom. If the energy of this light is 2.9 eVs and the energy of an electron in the n = 2 hydrogen orbit is 11.2 eVs, what must be the energy of the n = 5 orbit?
