An excited hydrogen atom returns to the ground state. The wavelength of emitted photo is λ . The principal quantum number of the excited state will be
Options
- Aλ R λ R - 1 1 / 2
- Bλ R + 1 λ R 1 / 2
- C[ λ R ( λ R + 1 ) ] 1 / 2
- D1 λ R ( λ R + 1 ) 1 / 2
Correct answer
A. λ R λ R - 1 1 / 2
Step-by-step solution
1 λ = R 1 n 1 2 - 1 n 2 2 = R 1 1 2 - 1 n 2 n = λ R λ R - 1 1 / 2
