Determine the wavelength of the radiation emitted by hydrogen during the transition from to .
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Using the Rydberg formula for the wavelength of emitted radiation:
\dfrac{1}{\lambda} = R_{H} \left(\dfrac{1}{n_1^2} - \dfrac{1}{n_2^2} \right)
For the transition from to , we have and .
\dfrac{1}{\lambda} =1.097 \times 10^7 \left(\dfrac{1}{2^2} - \dfrac{1}{3^2} \right) \text{ m}^{-1}
\dfrac{1}{\lambda} =1.097 \times 10^7 \left(\dfrac{1}{4} - \dfrac{1}{9} \right) \text{ m}^{-1}
\dfrac{1}{\lambda} =1.097 \times 10^7 \left(\dfrac{5}{36} \right) \text{ m}^{-1}
\dfrac{36}{5 \times 1.097 \times 10^7} \text{ m}
\dfrac{1}{\lambda} = R_{H} \left(\dfrac{1}{n_1^2} - \dfrac{1}{n_2^2} \right)
For the transition from to , we have and .
\dfrac{1}{\lambda} =1.097 \times 10^7 \left(\dfrac{1}{2^2} - \dfrac{1}{3^2} \right) \text{ m}^{-1}
\dfrac{1}{\lambda} =1.097 \times 10^7 \left(\dfrac{1}{4} - \dfrac{1}{9} \right) \text{ m}^{-1}
\dfrac{1}{\lambda} =1.097 \times 10^7 \left(\dfrac{5}{36} \right) \text{ m}^{-1}
\dfrac{36}{5 \times 1.097 \times 10^7} \text{ m}
