The wavelength of light emitted when the electron returns


An electron is excited from the n=1 ground state to the n=3 ground state in a hydrogen atom. Which of the following statements are true?

a. It takes more energy to ionize the electron from n=3 than from the ground state

b. the electron is farther from the nucleus on average in the n=3 state than the n=1 state

c. the wavelength of light emitted if the electron drops from n=3 to n=2 will be shorter than the wavelength of light emitted if the electron falls from n=3 to n=1.

d. the wavelength of light emitted when the electron returns to the ground state from n=3 will be the same as the wavelength of light absorbed to go from n=1 to n=3

e. For n=3, the electron is in the first excited state.
