Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedChemistryStructure of Atom
Electrons present in the ground state in a sample of H -atoms excite themselves by absorbing a photon of 2.04 10⁻¹⁸ ~J energy. What will be the maximum wavelength of emitted photons when electrons return to the ground state (approx.)?
Options
- A656 nm
- B486.2 nm
- C1312 nm
- D1880 nm
Correct answer
D. 1880 nm
Step-by-step solution
Energy absorbed = 2.04 10⁻¹⁸ 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ =12.75 eV Excitation is from n =1 to n = 4 n =4 to n =3 on de-excitation will have maximum wavelength = 1240 1.51-0.85 ~nm
