Atomic Physics Question 2

Question 2 - 24 January - Shift 2

A photon is emitted in transition from $n=4$ to $n=1$ level in hydrogen atom. The corresponding wavelength for this transition is

(given, $h=4 \times 10^{-15} eVs$ ) :

(1) $94.1 nm$

(2) $941 nm$

(3) $97.4 nm$

(4) $99.3 nm$

Show Answer

Answer: (1)

Solution:

Formula: Wavelength Corresponding To Spectral Lines

$ \frac{hc}{\lambda}=[1-\frac{1}{16}](13.6 eV) $

So, $\lambda=94.1 nm$
