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

Determine the wavelength of the radiation emitted by hydrogen during the transition from n=5n = 5 to n=4n = 4.

Options

  1. A1875 nm1875 \text{ nm}
  2. B7460 nm7460 \text{ nm}
  3. C4050 nm4050 \text{ nm}
  4. D1282 nm1282 \text{ nm}

Correct answer

C. 4050 nm4050 \text{ nm}

Step-by-step solution

Using Rydberg's 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=5n = 5 to n=4n = 4, we have n1=4n_1 = 4 and n2=5n_2 = 5.

\dfrac{1}{\lambda} =RH(142−152)R_H \left( \dfrac{1}{4^2} - \dfrac{1}{5^2} \right)

\dfrac{1}{\lambda} = R_H \left(\dfrac{1}{16} - \dfrac{1}{25} \right)

\dfrac{1}{\lambda} =R_H \left(\dfrac{25 - 16}{400} \right) = \dfrac{9 R_H}{400}

λ=\lambda =\dfrac{400}{9 R_H}

Substituting the value of the Rydberg constant RH=1.097×107 m−1R_H = 1.097 \times 10^7 \text{ m}^{-1}:

λ=\lambda =\dfrac{400}{9 \times 1.097 \times 10^7} \text{ m}

λ=\lambda =\dfrac{400}{9.873 \times 10^7} \text{ m} \approx40.51×10−7 m40.51 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}

λ≈4051 nm\lambda \approx 4051 \text{ nm}

The closest value among the given options is 4050 nm4050 \text{ nm}.
