For hydrogen atom, λ 1 and λ 2 are the wavelengths corresponding to the transitions 1 and 2 respectively as shown in figure. The ratio of λ 1 and λ 2 is x 32 . The value of x is ______.
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
Wavelength corresponding to the photon emitted in transition n = 3   t o   n = 1 is 1 λ 1 = R 1 1 2 - 1 3 2 = 8 R 9 ....(1) Wavelength corresponding to the photon emitted for transition in transition n = 2   t o   n = 1 is 1 λ 2 = R 1 1 2 - 1 2 2 = 3 R 4 ....(2) λ 1 λ 2 = 3 R 4 × 9 8 R = 27 32 Hence, the value of x = 27 .
