A monochromatic light is incident on a hydrogen sample in ground state. Hydrogen atoms absorb a fraction of light and subsequently emit radiation of six different wavelengths. The frequency of incident light is x×1015Hzx \times {10}^{15}Hz. The value of x is ________
(Given h=4.25×10−15eVsh = 4 . 25 \times {10}^{- 15}eVs)

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Let the higher state be nn.

The number of wavelengths emitted is given by,

n(n−1)2=6⇒n2−n−12=0⇒(n−4)(n+3)=0⇒n=4\dfrac{n ( n - 1 )}{2} = 6 ⇒ {n}^{2} - n - 12 = 0 ⇒ \left(n - 4\right) ( n + 3 ) = 0 ⇒ n = 4

For hydrogen atom,
hν=13.6(11−116)=(13.6×1516)eVhν = 13 . 6\left(\dfrac{1}{1} - \dfrac{1}{16}\right) = \left(13 . 6 \times \dfrac{15}{16}\right)eV⇒ν=Eh=13.6×15×1.6×10−1916×6.62×10−34=3×1015Hz⇒ ν = \dfrac{E}{h} = \dfrac{13 .6 \times 15 \times 1 . 6 \times {10}^{- 19}}{16 \times 6 . 62 \times {10}^{- 34}} = 3 \times {10}^{15}Hz
