Monochromatic radiation of wavelength is incident on a hydrogen sample in ground state. Hydrogen atoms absorb a fraction of light and subsequently emit radiation of six different wavelengths. Find the value of .
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
As the hydrogen atoms emit radiation of six different wavelengths, some of them must have been excited to , The energy in state is
The energy needed to take a hydrogen atom from its ground state to is
.
The photons of the incident radiation should have of energy. So
or ,
