Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
(1) Beyond a certain wavelength the line spectrum becomes band spectrum.
(2) For Balmer series `n_(1)` = 2.
(4) The line of longest wavelength in this series, `n_(2)` = 3.

For balmer series in the spectrum of atomic hydrogen the wave number of each line is given by bar(V) = R[(1)/(n_(1)^(2))-(1)/(n_(2)^(2))] where R_(H) is a constant and n_(1) and n_(2) are integers. Which of the following statements (s), is (are correct) 1. As wave length decreases the lines in the series converge 2. The integer n_(1) is equal to 2. 3. The ionisation energy of hydrogen can be calculated from the wave numbers of three lines. 4. The line of shortest wavelength corresponds to = 3.

In hydrogen spectrum wave number of different lines is given by 1/lambda=R_(H)[1/n_(i)^(2)-1/n_(f)^(2)] where R_(H)=1.090678xx10^(7)m^(-1) The wavelength of first line of Lyman series would be

For the Paschen series thr values of n_(1) and n_(2) in the expression Delta E = R_(H)c [(1)/(n_(1)^(2))-(1)/(n_(2)^(2))] are

the only electron in the hydrogen atom resides under ordinary conditions in the first orbit. When energy is supplied the electron moves to higher energy orbit depending on the amount of energy absorbed. It emits energy. Lyman series is formed when the electron returns to the lowest orbit while Balmer series is formed when the electron returns to second. Similarly, Paschen, Breakett and Pfund series are formed when electron returns to the third, fourth and fifth orbits from higher energy orbits respectively (as shown in figure). Maximum number of different lines produced when electron jump from nth level to ground level is equal to (n(n-1))/(2). For example in the case of n=4, number of lines produced is 6.(4to3,4to2,4to1,3to2,3to1,2to1). When an electron returns from n_(2) "to"n_(1) state, the number of different lines in the spectrum will be equal to ((n_(2)-n_(1))(n_(2)-n_(1)+1))/(2) If the electron comes back from energy level having energy E_(2) to energy level having energy E_(1), then the difference may be expressed in terms of energy of photon as: E_(2)-E_(1)=DeltaE,lambda=(hc)/(DeltaE),DeltaE=hv(v-"frequency") Since h and c are constants DeltaE corresponds to definite energy: thus each transition from one energy level to another will produce a light of definite wavelength. This is actually observed as a line in the spectrum of hydrogen atom. Wave number of line is given by the formula: barv=RZ^(2)((1)/(n_(1)^(2))-(1)/(n_(2)^(2))) where R is a Rydberg constant (R=1.1xx10^(7)m^(-1)). (i) First line of a series : It is called line of longest wavelength of line of smallest energy'. (ii) Series limit or last line of a series : It is the line of shortest wavelength or line of highest energy. Last line of breakett series for H-atom has wavelength lambda_(1)"Å" and 2nd line of Lyman series has wavelength lambda_(2)"Å" then:
