Which among the following has a Hydrogen-like spectrum and whose lines have wavelengths four times shorter than those of atomic Hydrogen?
Options
- AHelium ion
- BBeryllium ion
- CLithium ion
- DNone of these
Correct answer
A. Helium ion
Step-by-step solution
For Hydrogen like atom, 1 λ ' = R Z 2 1 n 1 2 - 1 n 2 2 ...(i) For Hydrogen atom, 1 λ = R 1 n 1 2 - 1 n 2 2 ...(ii) Dividing Eqn (ii) by Eqn (i), we get λ ' λ = R 1 n 1 2 - 1 n 2 2 RZ 2 1 n 1 2 - 1 n 2 2 or λ ' λ = 1 Z 2 According to problem, λ ' = λ 4 ∴ λ ' 4 λ ' = 1 Z 2 ∴ Z = 2 The atomic number of Helium atom is 2 . Hence, the required element is Helium.
