In Franck-Hertz experiment, the first dip in the current-voltage graph for hydrogen is observed at 10.2 V. The wavelength of light emitted by hydrogen atom when excited to the first excitation level is _________

\mathrm{nm}

. (Given

\mathrm{hc}=1245 \mathrm{eV} \mathrm{nm}, \mathrm{e}=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}

Correct answer

Step-by-step solution

\begin{aligned} & 10.2 \mathrm{eV}=\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda} \\ & \lambda=\frac{1245 \mathrm{eV}-\mathrm{nm}}{10.2 \mathrm{eV}}=122.06 \mathrm{~nm}\end{aligned}
