Simplified. The absorption spectra of ions have been used to identify the presence of the elements in the atmospheres of the sun and other stars. What is the energy of a photon (in J) that is absorbed by \( \mathrm{He}^{+} \)ions, when an electron is excited from the Bohr orbit with \( \mathrm{n}=2 \) to the \( \mathrm{n}=7 \) state? The energy of an electron in the \( \mathrm{nth} \) level is \[ \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{n}}=-\frac{B Z^{2}}{\mathrm{n}^{2}} \] where \( B=2.18 \times 10^{-18} \mathrm{~J} \) and \( Z= \) charge on nucleus (number of protons).
