    If an electron in hydrogen atom jumps from an orbit of level n = 3 to an orbit of level n = 2, the emitted radiation has a frequency (R = Rydberg constant, C = velocity of light)

    A)  \[\frac{RC}{25}\]

    B)  \[\frac{5RC}{36}\]

    C)  \[\frac{3RC}{27}\]

    D)  \[\frac{8RC}{9}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    : When an electron jumps from higher level \[{{n}_{1}}\] to lower energy level \[{{n}_{2}}\], the frequency of the emitted radiation is \[\upsilon =RC\left[ \frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}} \right]\] \[\therefore \]   For \[n=3\] to \[n=2\], \[\upsilon =RC\left[ \frac{1}{{{2}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{3}^{2}}} \right]=RC\left[ \frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{9} \right]\] \[=RC\left[ \frac{9-4}{36} \right]=\frac{5RC}{36}\]
