Determine the wavelength of the radiation emitted by hydrogen...

Determine the wavelength of the radiation emitted by hydrogen during the transition from n=3n = 3 to n=2n = 2.

Options

  1. A4050 nm4050 \text{ nm}
  2. B122 nm122 \text{ nm}
  3. C656 nm656 \text{ nm}
  4. D486 nm486 \text{ nm}

Correct answer

C. 656 nm656 \text{ nm}

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 n=3n = 3 to n=2n = 2, we have n1=2n_1 = 2 and n2=3n_2 = 3.

\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}

λ=\lambda =\dfrac{36}{5 \times 1.097 \times 10^7} \text{ m}

λ≈6.56×10−7 m=656 nm\lambda \approx 6.56 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m} = 656 \text{ nm}
