    When the wave of hydrogen atom comes from infinity into the first orbit then the value of wave number is        [RPET 2003]

    A)            109700 cm?1                          

    B)            1097cm?1

    C)            109 cm?1                                 

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       Wave number \[\bar{\nu }=\frac{1}{\lambda }=R\,\left[ \frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}} \right];{{n}_{2}}=\infty \]            and \[{{n}_{1}}=1\]            \[\Rightarrow \bar{\nu }=R=1.097\times {{10}^{7}}{{m}^{-1}}=109700\ c{{m}^{-1}}\]
