There are two samples of `H` and `He^+` atom. Both are in some excited state. In hydrogen atom, total number of lines observed in Balmer series is `4` in `He^+` atom total number of lines observed in Paschen series is `1`. Electron in hydrogen sample make transitions to lower states from its excited state, then the photon corresponding to the line of maximum energy line Balmer series of `H` sample is used to further excite the already excited `He^+` sample. The maximum excitation level of `He^+` sample will be :

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Balmer Series in Hydrogen The Balmer series corresponds to transitions of electrons in a hydrogen atom from higher energy levels (n ≥ 3) to the second energy level (n = 2). The number of lines observed in the Balmer series is given as 4. This means there are 4 transitions possible from n = 3, 4, 5, and 6 to n = 2. ### Step 2: Identify the Maximum Energy Transition in Hydrogen The maximum energy transition in the Balmer series occurs when the electron transitions from the highest energy level (n = 6) to n = 2. The energy of a photon emitted during this transition can be calculated using the formula: \[ E = -13.6 \, \text{eV} \times Z^2 \left( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \right) \] For hydrogen (Z = 1), this becomes: \[ E = -13.6 \, \text{eV} \left( \frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{6^2} \right) \] Calculating this gives: \[ E = -13.6 \, \text{eV} \left( \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{36} \right) \] \[ = -13.6 \, \text{eV} \left( \frac{9 - 1}{36} \right) \] \[ = -13.6 \, \text{eV} \left( \frac{8}{36} \right) \] \[ = -13.6 \, \text{eV} \left( \frac{2}{9} \right) \] \[ = -3.02 \, \text{eV} \] ### Step 3: Understand the Paschen Series in Helium Ion (He+) The Paschen series corresponds to transitions from higher energy levels (n ≥ 4) to the third energy level (n = 3). Given that only 1 line is observed in the Paschen series, this indicates that the electron in the He+ ion is transitioning from n = 4 to n = 3. ### Step 4: Calculate the Energy Required to Excite He+ To find the maximum excitation level of the He+ sample, we will use the energy of the photon emitted from the hydrogen atom. The energy required to excite the electron in He+ from n = 4 to a higher level n2 can be calculated using the same energy formula: \[ E = -13.6 \, \text{eV} \times Z^2 \left( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \right) \] For He+ (Z = 2), we have: \[ E = -13.6 \, \text{eV} \times 2^2 \left( \frac{1}{4^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \right) \] Setting this equal to the energy from the hydrogen transition: \[ 3.02 \, \text{eV} = 13.6 \times 4 \left( \frac{1}{16} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \right) \] \[ 3.02 = 54.4 \left( \frac{1}{16} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \right) \] Dividing both sides by 54.4: \[ \frac{3.02}{54.4} = \frac{1}{16} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \] Calculating the left side: \[ 0.0555 = \frac{1}{16} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \] \[ 0.0555 = 0.0625 - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \] Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{1}{n_2^2} = 0.0625 - 0.0555 = 0.007 \] Taking the reciprocal: \[ n_2^2 = \frac{1}{0.007} \approx 142.86 \] Taking the square root: \[ n_2 \approx 12 \] ### Conclusion The maximum excitation level of the He+ sample will be \( n = 12 \). ---
