In an atom X, electrons absorb the energy from an external source. This energy “excites” the electrons from a lower-energy level to a higher-energy level around the nucleus of the atom. When electrons return to the ground state, they emit photons.

The figure below is the energy level diagram of atom X with three energy levels, E₁ = 0.00eV, E₂ = 1.78eV and E₃ = 2.95eV. The ground state is considered 0 eV for reference. The transition of electrons takes place between levels E₁ and E₂.

1. What wavelength of radiation is needed to excite the atom to energy level E₂ from E₁?
2. Suppose the external source has a power of 100 W. What would be the rate of photon emission?

What is meant by the statement: "Relative permittivity of water is 81"?
