The correct Answer is:
To calculate the corresponding wavelength of the He atom given the wavelength of a high energy transition of the H atom, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formula for wavelength in hydrogen and helium ions For hydrogen (H), the formula for the wavelength of a transition is given by: \[ \frac{1}{\lambda} = R_H z^2 \left( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \right) \] Where: - \(\lambda\) is the wavelength, - \(R_H\) is the Rydberg constant for hydrogen, - \(z\) is the atomic number, - \(n_1\) and \(n_2\) are the principal quantum numbers of the energy levels. ### Step 2: Write the equation for the He+ ion For the He+ ion, the equation is similar: \[ \frac{1}{\lambda_{He^+}} = R_H z^2 \left( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \right) \] In this case, \(z\) for He+ is 2. ### Step 3: Relate the wavelengths of H and He+ From the equations, we can relate the wavelengths: \[ \lambda_{He^+} = \lambda_H \cdot \frac{1}{z^2} \] ### Step 4: Substitute the known values Given that the wavelength of the high energy transition of H is \(91.2 \, \text{nm}\), we can substitute: - \(\lambda_H = 91.2 \, \text{nm}\) - \(z = 2\) Now substituting these values into the equation: \[ \lambda_{He^+} = 91.2 \, \text{nm} \cdot \frac{1}{2^2} = 91.2 \, \text{nm} \cdot \frac{1}{4} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the wavelength for He+ \[ \lambda_{He^+} = 91.2 \, \text{nm} \cdot 0.25 = 22.8 \, \text{nm} \] ### Final Answer The corresponding wavelength of the He atom (He+) is \(22.8 \, \text{nm}\). ---
