What This Question Tests

This question involves calculating the energy of an absorbed photon, determining the final principal quantum number (n) of the excited hydrogen atom, and then finding its radius.

Concepts Tested

Energy levels of hydrogen atomPhoton energyBohr radius

Formulas Used

E = hc/λ

E_n = -13.6/n^2 (eV)

ΔE = E_final - E_initial

r_n = n^2 a₀
