KVPY2011ChemistryStructure of Atom
The electron in hydrogen atom is in the first Bohr orbit ( n =1 ). The ratio of transition energies, E ( n =1 n =3 ) to E ( n =1 n =2 ), is-
Options
- A32 / 27
- B16 / 27
- C32 / 9
- D8 / 9
Correct answer
A. 32 / 27
Step-by-step solution
E =13.6 ( 1 n ₁² - 1 n ₂² ) eV / atom E _ 1 3 = 1 1² - 1 3² 1 1² - 1 2² = .32 27 E _ 1 2
