  • question_answer
    A hydrogen atom is in ground state. Then to get six lines in emission spectrum, wavelength of incident radiation should be

    A) \[800\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    B) \[825\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    C) \[875\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    D) \[1025\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Number of possible spectral lines emitted when an electron jumps back to ground state from n111 \[orbit=\frac{n(n-1)}{2}\] \[\frac{n(n-1)}{2}=6\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,n=4\] Wavelength \[\lambda \] from transition from \[\operatorname{n} = 1\] to \[\operatorname{n} = 4\] is given by, \[\frac{1}{\lambda }=R\left( \frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{{{4}^{2}}} \right)\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\lambda =\frac{16}{15R}=\,\,975\overset{{}^\circ }{\mathop{A}}\,\]
