calculate the wave number , wavelength and frequency of the spectral line of hydrogen for the transition from `n_(2)=4" to "n_(1)=2.` (Given `R=1.097xx10^(7)m^(-1))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) Wave number, `bar(v)=R((1)/(n_(1)^(2))-(1)/(n_(2)^(2)))`
`=1.097xx10^(7)[1/2^(2)-1/4^(2)]=3/16xx1.097xx10^(7)=2.057xx10^(6)m^(-1)`
(b) Frequency, `bar(cv)=3xx10^(8)xx2.057xx10^(6)=6.17xx10^(14)Hz.`
Wavelength , `lamda=1/v=1/(2.057xx10^(6))=4.861xx10^(-7)m " or "4861Å`
