In hydrogen atom, the transition takes place from `n = 3` to `n = 2`. If Rydberg's constant is `1.09 xx 10` per metre, the wavelength of the limit emitted is

A

`6606 Å`

B

`4861 Å`

C

`4340 Å`

D

`4101 Å`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`(1)/(lambda) = 1.09 xx 10^(7) [(1)/(2^(2)) - (1)/(3^(2))]`
`implies lambda = 6.606 xx 10^(-7) m implies 6606 Å`

For hydrogen like atom, transition from n = 3 to n = 1 frequency is 192 x 10^15 then find frequency when transition takes place from n = 2 to n = 1

When a photon is emitted from an atom, the atom recoils. The kinetic energy of recoil and the energy of the photon come from the difference in energies between the states involved in the transition. Suppose, a hydrogen atom changes its state from n=3 to n=2. Calculate the fractional change in the wavelength of light emitted, due to the recoil.
