The correct Answer is:
To find the wavelength of the emitted radiation when an electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from an orbit with level \( n_2 = 3 \) to an orbit with level \( n_1 = 2 \), we can use the Rydberg formula for hydrogen: \[ \frac{1}{\lambda} = R \left( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \right) \] Where: - \( \lambda \) is the wavelength of the emitted radiation, - \( R \) is the Rydberg constant (approximately \( 1.097 \times 10^7 \, \text{m}^{-1} \)), - \( n_1 \) is the lower energy level (2 in this case), - \( n_2 \) is the higher energy level (3 in this case). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the values of \( n_1 \) and \( n_2 \)**: - \( n_1 = 2 \) - \( n_2 = 3 \) 2. **Substitute the values into the Rydberg formula**: \[ \frac{1}{\lambda} = R \left( \frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{3^2} \right) \] 3. **Calculate \( \frac{1}{2^2} \) and \( \frac{1}{3^2} \)**: - \( \frac{1}{2^2} = \frac{1}{4} \) - \( \frac{1}{3^2} = \frac{1}{9} \) 4. **Find a common denominator to subtract the fractions**: - The common denominator of 4 and 9 is 36. - Convert \( \frac{1}{4} \) and \( \frac{1}{9} \) to have the same denominator: \[ \frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{36}, \quad \frac{1}{9} = \frac{4}{36} \] 5. **Subtract the fractions**: \[ \frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{3^2} = \frac{9}{36} - \frac{4}{36} = \frac{5}{36} \] 6. **Substitute back into the Rydberg formula**: \[ \frac{1}{\lambda} = R \left( \frac{5}{36} \right) \] 7. **Rearranging to find \( \lambda \)**: \[ \lambda = \frac{36}{5R} \] 8. **Final Expression**: - The wavelength of the emitted radiation when the electron jumps from \( n_2 = 3 \) to \( n_1 = 2 \) is: \[ \lambda = \frac{36}{5R} \]
