An excited hydrogen atom emits a photon of wavelength ' ' in returning to ground state. The quantum number ' n ' of the excited state is ( R = Rydberg's constant)
Options
- AR( R-1)
- BR ( R -1)
- C( R -1) R
- D1 R ( R -1)
Correct answer
B. R ( R -1)
Step-by-step solution
Using Rydberg's formula 1 = R [ 1 1^2 - 1 n ^2 ] ( m =1) n ^2-1 n ^2 = 1 R 1- 1 n ^2 = 1 R R -1 R = 1 n ^2 n = R R -1
