Problem

Which energy gap in the Bohr Model would be associated with the longest wavelength?

(A) from n = 2 to n = 1

(B) from n = 6 to n = 5

(C) from n= 10 to n = 9

(D) from n = 11 to n = 10

(E) They have the same wavelength

Solution

We’re being asked to determine which energy gap gives the longest wavelength. Recall that starting from n = 1, the distance between each energy level gets smaller as shown below:
