AP Physics 2
15.3 Emission and Absorption Spectra
15.2 The Bohr Model of Atomic Structure
An electron in a hydrogen atom is initially in its ground state ( quantum state \(n = 1\) ). The minimum frequency of light required to completely ionize the atom from this ground state is \(f_1\). The atom is then prepared in its first excited state ( quantum state \(n = 2\) ), where the minimum frequency of light required for complete ionization is \(f_2\). What is the ratio \(f_1 / f_2\)?
