Imagine a hypothetical world where angular momentum is quantized as even integral multiples of . Based on Bohr's model, what would be the longest possible wavelength emitted by hydrogen atoms in the visible range in such a world?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
In Bohr's model, the angular momentum is given by .
Given that angular momentum is quantized as even integral multiples of , the allowed principal quantum numbers are
The energy of an electron in the -th orbit of a hydrogen atom is .
For a transition to emit a photon in the visible range (approximately to , corresponding to energies between and ), the electron must transition to the state. The allowed transitions to in this hypothetical world are from
The longest wavelength corresponds to the minimum energy difference, which occurs for the transition from to .
The energy difference is:
The corresponding wavelength is:
