AP Physics 2
15.3 Emission and Absorption Spectra
15.2 The Bohr Model of Atomic Structure
According to the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, the energy of an electron bound in energy level \(n\) is given by \(E_n = -\dfrac{E_0}{n^2}\), where \(E_0\) is a positive constant. The minimum energy required to ionize the atom is the energy needed to bring the electron from level \(n\) to \(n = \infty\). The ionization energy required for a hydrogen atom in its first excited state (\(n = 2\)) is what fraction or multiple of the energy required to ionize it from its ground state (\(n = 1\))?
