1.00eV, 2.00eV, and 3.00eV represent the energy levels of photons when starting from the ground level.
- A photon with an energy of 1.00eV would correspond to the energy required to move from the ground level to the first excited state. - A photon with an energy of 2.00eV would correspond to the energy required to move from the ground level to the second excited state. - A photon with an energy of 3.00eV would correspond to the energy required to move from the ground level to the third excited state.

When calculating the energy of a photon emitted or absorbed by an atom or molecule starting from the ground level, 1.00 eV, 2.00 eV, and 3.00 eV represent the following:
1.00 eV: - Represents the energy of a photon with a frequency of 2.4179 x 10¹⁴ Hz. - Corresponds to the energy difference between the ground state (n=1) and the first excited state (n=2) in the hydrogen atom.
2.00 eV: - Represents the energy of a photon with a frequency of 4.8358 x 10¹⁴ Hz. - Corresponds to the energy difference between the first excited state (n=2) and the second excited state (n=3) in the hydrogen atom.
3.00 eV: - Represents the energy of a photon with a frequency of 7.2537 x 10¹⁴ Hz. - Corresponds to the energy difference between the second excited state (n=3) and the third excited state (n=4) in the hydrogen atom.
Generally, the energy of a photon emitted or absorbed during a transition between energy levels E1 and E2 in an atom or molecule is given by:
``` E = hf = E2 - E1 ```
where:
- E is the photon energy (in eV) - h is Planck's constant (6.62607015 x 10⁻³⁴ J s) - f is the photon frequency (in Hz) - E2 and E1 are the energies of the higher and lower energy levels involved in the transition (in eV)
In the case of the hydrogen atom, the energy levels are given by the Rydberg formula:
``` E = -13.6057 eV / n² ```
where n is the principal quantum number of the energy level.
