Ionisation potential of hydrogen atom is 13.6 V . Hydrogen atoms in the ground state are excited by monochromatic radiation of photon energy 12.1 eV . The spectral lines emitted by hydrogen atoms according to Bohr's theory will be
Options
- Aone
- Btwo
- Cthree
- Dfour
Correct answer
C. three
Step-by-step solution
Final energy of electron =-13.6+12.1=-1.51 eV This energy corresponds to third level i.e., n=3 Hence, number of spectral lines emitted = n(n-1) 2 = 3(3-1) 2 =3
