A photon is emitted in transition from n=4ton=1n = 4ton = 1 level in hydrogen atom. The corresponding wavelength for this transition is (given, h=4×10−15eVsh = 4 \times {10}^{- 15}eVs)

Options

  1. A941nm941nm
  2. B974nm974nm
  3. C99.3nm99 . 3nm
  4. D94.1nm94 . 1nm

Correct answer

D. 94.1nm94 . 1nm

Step-by-step solution

Using the relation between energy of photon and wavelength for the transition in the hydrogen atom, we get

hcλ=13.6[1n12−1n22]\dfrac{hc}{\lambda} = 13 . 6\left[1{n}_{1}^{2} - \dfrac{1}{{n}_{2}^{2}}\right]

⇒4×10−15×3×108λ=13.6[1−116]⇒λ=12×10−7×1613.6×15=94.1×10−9=94.1nm⇒ \dfrac{4 \times {10}^{- 15} \times 3 \times {10}^{8}}{\lambda} = 13 . 6\left[1 - \dfrac{1}{16}\right] ⇒ \lambda = \dfrac{12 \times {10}^{- 7} \times 16}{13 . 6 \times 15} = 94 . 1 \times {10}^{- 9} = 94 . 1nm
