In an experiment on photoelectric effect photons of wavelength eject electrons from a metal of work function . A photon of energy equal to that of the most energetic electron corresponds to the following transition in the hydrogen atom:
Options
- A to state
- B to state
- C to state
- D to state
Correct answer
C. to state
Step-by-step solution
Given
\lambda=300 100^{-3} Energy of the given photon,
6.63 10^{-19} 4.13 Now,
4.137-2.25=1.88 1)
So, energy is used to jump from one orbit to another orbit by electron. Therefore, energy of different orbital of hydrogen
And E_{\mathrm{i}}-\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{f}}1.51)-(-3.4)=1.89 _{2}-\mathrm{E}_{3}$
That the electron jumps from 3rd to 2nd orbit. Therefore, with one photon of 3oonm wavelength hydrogen electron can jump from 3 to 2 .
