# mm...
what, an e- binding energy 13.6 eV... equivalent
to a photon with frequency of 2E16 rad/s ... is
that blue?

# well that would be the energy released
moving an electron from its ground state to infinity. Which would mean the electron was no longer in orbit around the nucleus. Which would mean we no longer had a hydrogen atom. Which would mean that that wavelength of light is not the colour of a 1s orbital.

# ok
what plausible suggests might you suggest for working out the colour of an electron orbital?
