For emission line of atomic hydrogen from n i = 8 to n f = n , the plot of wave number v - against 1 n 2 will be: (The Rydberg constant, R H is in wave number unit)
Options
- ALinear with slope - R H
- BNon linear
- CLinear with slope R H
- DLinear with intercept - R H
Correct answer
C. Linear with slope R H
Step-by-step solution
According to Rydberg's equation, 1 λ = v   - = R H Z 2 1 n 1 2 - 1 n 2 2 Z = 1 for H atom = R H × 1 2 ( 1 n f 2 − 1 8 2 ) v ¯ = R H n f 2 − R H 64 slope, m = + R H The curve is linear
