Bohr's Equation to Find Photon Energy

In the Bohr model of atomic structure, electrons are constrained to orbit a nucleus at specific distances, given by the equation <img src="https://lightcat-files.s3.amazonaws.com/problem_images/958cf389fcdace33-1670000265914.jpg" alt="" />
where r is the radius of the orbit, Z is the charge on the nucleus, a0 is the Bohr radius and has a value of 5.292 * 10-11 m, and n is a positive integer (n = 1, 2, 3...) like a principal quantum number. Furthermore, Bohr concluded that the energy level E of an electron in a given orbit is <img src="https://lightcat-files.s3.amazonaws.com/problem_images/43efb32fd154214d-1670000261192.jpg" alt="" /> where e is the charge on an electron. Derive an equation that will let you calculate the difference ∆E between any two energy levels. What relation does your equation have to the Balmer–Rydberg equation?

Wavelength and Frequency

Wavelength&nbsp;is the distance from one crest of a wave to another, whereas frequency is the number of waves within a second.&nbsp;

Quantum Numbers: Spin Quantum Number

The Spin Quantum Number deals with the spin of an electron within an orbital.

Speed of Light

The Speed of Light in a vacuum is related to the wavelength and frequency of a light particle.
