The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the shortest wavelength of \( Be^{+3} \) in the Paschen series, given that the longest wavelength of \( He^{+} \) in the same series is \( m \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Paschen Series**: The Paschen series involves transitions to the \( n=3 \) energy level. The wavelengths can be calculated using the Rydberg formula: \[ \frac{1}{\lambda} = RZ^2 \left( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \right) \] where \( R \) is the Rydberg constant, \( Z \) is the atomic number, \( n_1 \) is the lower energy level, and \( n_2 \) is the higher energy level. 2. **Calculate the Longest Wavelength for \( He^{+} \)**: - For \( He^{+} \) (atomic number \( Z = 2 \)): - The longest wavelength occurs for the transition \( n_1 = 3 \) and \( n_2 = 4 \): \[ \frac{1}{\lambda_{He}} = R \cdot 2^2 \left( \frac{1}{3^2} - \frac{1}{4^2} \right) \] - Simplifying this: \[ \frac{1}{\lambda_{He}} = 4R \left( \frac{1}{9} - \frac{1}{16} \right) \] - Finding a common denominator (144): \[ \frac{1}{\lambda_{He}} = 4R \left( \frac{16 - 9}{144} \right) = 4R \left( \frac{7}{144} \right) = \frac{28R}{144} = \frac{7R}{36} \] - Therefore, the longest wavelength \( \lambda_{He} = m \): \[ m = \frac{36}{7R} \] 3. **Calculate the Shortest Wavelength for \( Be^{+3} \)**: - For \( Be^{+3} \) (atomic number \( Z = 4 \)): - The shortest wavelength occurs for the transition \( n_1 = 3 \) and \( n_2 = \infty \): \[ \frac{1}{\lambda_{Be}} = R \cdot 4^2 \left( \frac{1}{3^2} - \frac{1}{\infty^2} \right) \] - Since \( \frac{1}{\infty^2} = 0 \): \[ \frac{1}{\lambda_{Be}} = 16R \cdot \frac{1}{9} = \frac{16R}{9} \] - Therefore, the wavelength \( \lambda_{Be} \): \[ \lambda_{Be} = \frac{9}{16R} \] 4. **Relate \( \lambda_{Be} \) to \( m \)**: - We have \( m = \frac{36}{7R} \) and \( \lambda_{Be} = \frac{9}{16R} \). - To express \( \lambda_{Be} \) in terms of \( m \): \[ \lambda_{Be} = \frac{9}{16R} = \frac{9}{16} \cdot \frac{36}{7m} = \frac{324}{112m} = \frac{81}{28m} \] 5. **Final Answer**: The shortest wavelength of \( Be^{+3} \) in terms of \( m \) is: \[ \lambda_{Be} = \frac{81}{28} m \]
