Answer

(a) $n = 31$ (b) $v_{31} = 7.06 \times 10^4~m/s$ $E_{31} = -0.439~eV$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the quantum number: $r_n = n^2~a_B = 50~nm$ $n^2 = \frac{50~nm}{a_B}$ $n = \sqrt{\frac{50~nm}{a_B}}$ $n = \sqrt{\frac{50~nm}{0.0529}}$ $n = 31$ (b) We can find the speed: $v_n = \frac{v_1}{n}$ $v_{31} = \frac{2.19\times 10^6~m/s}{31}$ $v_{31} = 7.06 \times 10^4~m/s$ We can find the energy: $E_n = -\frac{13.6~eV}{n^2}$ $E_{31} = -\frac{13.6~eV}{31^2}$ $E_{31} = -0.439~eV$
