A beam of monochromatic light is used to excite the electron in Li + + from the first orbit to the third orbit. The wavelength of monochromatic light is found to be x × 10 - 10 m . The value of x is _____ . [Given h c = 1242 eV nm ]
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
Energy released in the transition will be, Δ E = 13 . 6 × Z 2 1 1 2 - 1 3 2 = 13 . 6 × 3 2 × 8 9   eV = 108 . 8   eV Now energy of photon can be written as, h c λ = 108 . 8   eV   ⇒ λ = 12400 108 . 8   A o ≈ 114   A o
