NEETChemistryStructure of Atom
Emission transitions in the Paschen series end at orbit n = 3 and start from orbit n and can be represented as- v = 3.29 × 10 15 (Hz) [ 1/3 2 – 1/n 2 ] Calculate the value of n if the transition is observed at 1285 nm and find the region of the spectrum.
Options
- An=5 and the spectrum lies in the infrared region.
- Bn=5 and the spectrum lies in the ultraviolet region.
- Cn=6 and the spectrum lies in the infrared region.
- Dn=6 and the spectrum lies in the microwave region.
Correct answer
A. n=5 and the spectrum lies in the infrared region.
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) n=5 and the spectrum lies in the infrared region.
