Determine the wavelength of the radiation emitted by hydrogen...
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 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 to , we have and .
\dfrac{1}{\lambda} =
\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}
\dfrac{400}{9 R_H}
Substituting the value of the Rydberg constant :
\dfrac{400}{9 \times 1.097 \times 10^7} \text{ m}
\dfrac{400}{9.873 \times 10^7} \text{ m} \approx
The closest value among the given options is .
