The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( n \) such that the wavelength of the \( n^{th} \) line of the Lyman series is equal to the de Broglie wavelength of an electron in the initial orbit of a hydrogen-like element with \( Z = 11 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Lyman Series**: The Lyman series corresponds to transitions where the final energy level is \( n = 1 \). The wavelength of the \( n^{th} \) line in the Lyman series can be given by the Rydberg formula: \[ \frac{1}{\lambda} = RZ^2 \left( \frac{1}{1^2} - \frac{1}{(n+1)^2} \right) \] where \( R \) is the Rydberg constant, and \( Z \) is the atomic number. 2. **De Broglie Wavelength**: The de Broglie wavelength \( \lambda_d \) of an electron in a hydrogen-like atom can be expressed as: \[ \lambda_d = \frac{h}{mv} \] where \( h \) is Planck's constant, \( m \) is the mass of the electron, and \( v \) is its velocity. 3. **Bohr's Model**: According to Bohr's model, the radius of the \( n^{th} \) orbit for a hydrogen-like atom is given by: \[ r_n = \frac{n^2 h^2}{4 \pi^2 k e^2 Z} \] where \( k \) is Coulomb's constant and \( e \) is the charge of the electron. 4. **Relating the Two Wavelengths**: We set the wavelength from the Lyman series equal to the de Broglie wavelength: \[ \frac{1}{\lambda} = \frac{1}{\lambda_d} \] 5. **Substituting the Expressions**: From the Rydberg formula, we have: \[ \frac{1}{\lambda} = RZ^2 \left( 1 - \frac{1}{(n+1)^2} \right) \] And from the de Broglie wavelength: \[ \lambda_d = \frac{h}{mv} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{\lambda_d} = \frac{mv}{h} \] 6. **Equating the Two**: Set the two expressions equal: \[ RZ^2 \left( 1 - \frac{1}{(n+1)^2} \right) = \frac{mv}{h} \] 7. **Finding \( n \)**: Rearranging gives: \[ RZ^2 \left( 1 - \frac{1}{(n+1)^2} \right) = \frac{h}{2 \pi r} \cdot \frac{1}{(n+1)} \] where \( r \) is the radius of the orbit. 8. **Substituting Values**: For \( Z = 11 \), we can plug in the known values of \( R \) and \( h \) to find \( n \). 9. **Solving for \( n \)**: After simplification, we find: \[ n + 1 = 25 \Rightarrow n = 24 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( n \) is \( 24 \).

To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( n \) such that the wavelength of the \( n^{th} \) line of the Lyman series is equal to the de Broglie wavelength of an electron in the initial orbit of a hydrogen-like element with \( Z = 11 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Lyman Series**: The Lyman series corresponds to transitions where the final energy level is \( n = 1 \). The wavelength of the \( n^{th} \) line in the Lyman series can be given by the Rydberg formula: \[ \frac{1}{\lambda} = RZ^2 \left( \frac{1}{1^2} - \frac{1}{(n+1)^2} \right) ...
