You are shining ultraviolet light on a gas of an unknown


You are shining ultraviolet light on a gas of an unknown element. You know that an electron starts in a ground state with an energy of -16.30 eV. The electron absorbs a 4.00-eV photon. The electron immediately drops to an intermediate energy state Einter of energy -14.30 eV (in this case we will assume it emits a photon when it drops to the intermediate state, though most often the energy is lost through other means). What is the energy of the first photon emitted?
