If wavelength of the first line of the Paschen series of hydrogen atom is 720nm720nm, then the wavelength of the second line of this series is _______ nmnm. (Nearest integer)

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Paschen series are spectral lines coming to n=3n = 3

1st{1}^{st} line of Paschen series makes a transition from, 4→34 \to 3

So, 2nd{2}^{nd} line of Paschen series makes a transition from, 5→35 \to 3

We know that,

1λ=R[1n12−1n22]Z2\dfrac{1}{\lambda} = R\left[1{n}_{1}^{2} - 1{n}_{2}^{2}\right]{Z}^{2}

For 1st{1}^{st} line, 1λ=R[1(3)2−1(4)2]Z2\dfrac{1}{\lambda} = R\left[\dfrac{1}{( 3{)}^{2}} - \dfrac{1}{( 4{)}^{2}}\right]{Z}^{2}

and for 2nd{2}^{nd} line,

1λ′=R[1(3)2−1(5)2]Z2\dfrac{1}{{\lambda}^{'}} = R\left[\dfrac{1}{( 3{)}^{2}} - \dfrac{1}{( 5{)}^{2}}\right]{Z}^{2}

or (1λ)(1λ′)=R[79×16]Z2R[169×25]Z2\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{1}{\lambda}\right)}{\left(\dfrac{1}{{\lambda}^{'}}\right)} = \dfrac{R\left[\dfrac{7}{9 \times 16}\right]{Z}^{2}}{R\left[\dfrac{16}{9 \times 25}\right]{Z}^{2}}

Given, λ=720nm\lambda = 720nm

or (1720)(1λ′)=175256\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{1}{720}\right)}{\left(\dfrac{1}{\lambda '}\right)} = \dfrac{175}{256}

or λ′720=175256\dfrac{{\lambda}^{'}}{720} = \dfrac{175}{256}

or λ′≈492nm{\lambda}^{'} \approx 492nm
