Which of the following transitions of He+\mathrm{He}^{+} ion will give rise to spectral line which has same wavelength as the spectral line in hydrogen atom?

Options

  1. An=4n=4 to n=2n=2
  2. Bn=6n=6 to n=5n=5
  3. Cn=6n=6 to n=3n=3
  4. DNone of these

Correct answer

A. n=4n=4 to n=2n=2

Step-by-step solution

Let the transition of electron in hydrogen atom (Z=1)(Z=1) gives wavelength λ1\lambda_1 for transition from n2ton1n_2 to n_1, then 1λ=RZ2(1m2−1n2)Here,\frac{1}{\lambda}=R Z^2 \left(\frac{1}{m^2}-\frac{1}{n^2}\right) Here,\lambda=\lambda_1, Z=1, m=n_1, n=n_2 1λ1=\frac{1}{\lambda_1}= R(1)^2 \left(\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2}\right)=R\left(\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2}\right)Now,ifelectronmakestransitioninNow, if electron makes transition in\mathrm{He}^{+}ionfromion fromn_4 to n_3andgiveswavelengthand gives wavelength\lambda_2,then, then1λ2=R(2)2(1n32−1n44)=R[1(n32)2−1(n42)2]\begin{aligned} \frac{1}{\lambda_2} & =R(2)^2\left(\frac{1}{n_3^2}-\frac{1}{n_4^4}\right) \\ & =R\left[\frac{1}{\left(\frac{n_3}{2}\right)^2}-\frac{1}{\left(\frac{n_4}{2}\right)^2}\right] \end{aligned}Giventhat,Given that,\quad \lambda_1=\lambda_2\Rightarrow R\left(\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2}\right)=R \left[\frac{1}{ \left(\frac{n_3}{2}\rright)^2}-\f frac{1}{\left(\frac{n_4}{2}\right)^2}\right]On comparing beth sides, we getn_1=n32 and  \frac{n_3}{2} \text{\text{ and } }} n_2=n42\frac{n_4}{2} The value of n1,n2,n3andn4n_1, n_2, n_3 and n_4 must be an integer, as they denote principal quantum number. If n3=2andn4=4n_3=2 and n_4=4, then the given condition is satisfied.
