Three energy levels of hydrogen atom and the corresponding wavelength of the emitted radiation due to different electron transition are as shown. Then,
Options
- A₃= ₁ ₂ ₁+ ₂
- B₁= ₂ ₃ ₂+ ₃
- C₂= ₁+ ₃
- D₂= ₁ ₃ ₁+ ₃
Correct answer
D. ₂= ₁ ₃ ₁+ ₃
Step-by-step solution
From the given diagram, gathered E₂-E₁= h c ₁ E₃-E₂= h c ₃ E₃-E₁= h c ₂ gathered Adding Eq. (i) and Eq. (ii), we get aligned E₃-E₁ & = h c ₁ + h c ₃ h c ₂ & = h c ₁ + h c ₃ aligned [From Eq. (iii)] aligned & 1 ₂ = 1 ₁ + 1 ₃ & ₂= ₁ ₃ ₁+ ₃ aligned
