    Hydrogen atom from excited state comes to the ground stage by emitting a photon of wavelength\[\lambda \]. If R is the Rydberg constant, the principal quantum number n of the excited state is

    A)  \[\sqrt{\frac{\lambda R}{\lambda R-1}}\]

    B)  \[\sqrt{\frac{\lambda }{\lambda R-1}}\]

    C)  \[\sqrt{\frac{\lambda {{R}^{2}}}{\lambda R-1}}\]

    D)  \[\sqrt{\frac{\lambda R}{\lambda -1}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Here, \[{{n}_{f}}=1,{{n}_{i}}=n\] \[\therefore \]\[\frac{1}{\lambda }=R\left( \frac{1}{{{1}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{n}^{2}}} \right)\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\lambda }=R\left( 1-\frac{1}{{{n}^{2}}} \right)\]?(i) or\[\frac{1}{\lambda R}=1-\frac{1}{{{n}^{2}}}or\frac{1}{{{n}^{2}}}=1-\frac{1}{\lambda R}\]or\[n=\sqrt{\frac{\lambda R}{\lambda R-1}}\]
