Ionization potential of hydrogen atom is 13.6 eV . Hydrogen atoms in the ground state are excited by monochromatic radiation of photon energy 12.1 eV . According to Bohr's theory, the spectral lines emitted by hydrogen will be:
Options
- Aone
- Btwo
- Cthree
- Dfour
Correct answer
C. three
Step-by-step solution
According to question aligned & 12.1=13.6 ( 1 l^2 - 1 n^2 ) & n^2= 13.6 1.5 =9 & n=3 & aligned Number of spectral lines emitted aligned & = n(n-1) 2 = 3 2 2 & =3 aligned
