  4. D4.0×10−7 m4.0 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}

Correct answer

C. 4.8×10−7 m4.8 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}

Step-by-step solution

Visible light lies in the range, λ1=4000A˚\lambda_1=4000 Å to λ2=7000A˚\lambda_2=7000 Å. Energy of photons corresponding to these wavelengths (in eV\mathrm{eV} ) would be; E1=123754000=3.09eVE2=123757000=1.77eV\begin{aligned}& E_1=\frac{12375}{4000}=3.09 \mathrm{eV}\\ & E_2=\frac{12375}{7000}=1.77 \mathrm{eV} \end{aligned}From energy level diagram of He+\mathrm{He}^{+}atom we can see that in transition from n=4ton=3n=4 to n=3, energy of photon released will lie between E1andE2E_1 and E_2. ΔE43=−3.4−(−6.04)=2.64eVWa\Delta E_{43}=-3.4-(-6.04)=2.64 \mathrm{eV}Wavelength of photoncorrespondingtothisenergy.λ=123752.64photon corresponding to this energy. \lambda=\frac{12375}{2.64}Å=4687.5 Å=4.68 ×\times10^{-7}  mTherefore,(c)is\mathrm{~m}Therefore, (c) is the most correct option.
