Heat treatment of muscular pain involves radiation of wavelength of about 900 nm . Which spectral line of H atom is suitable for this purpose? [ R _ H =1 10⁵ ~cm ⁻¹ h =6.6 10⁻³⁴ Js , c =3 10⁸ ~ms ⁻¹ ]
Options
- APaschen, 3
- BPaschen, 5 3
- CBalmer, 2
- DLyman, 1
Correct answer
A. Paschen, 3
Step-by-step solution
1 = R ( 1 n₁² - 1 n₂² )n₁=3, n₂= 1 = R ( 1 9 ) = 9 R = 9 10⁵ =9 10⁻⁵ ~cm =900 nm
