A hydrogen atom in a state of binding energy 0.85 eV makes a transtition to a state of excitation energy of 10.2 eV. (i) What is the initial state of hydrogen atom? (ii) What is the final state of hydrogen atom ? (iii) What is the wavelength of the photon emitted ?

Answer»

Solution :Let `n_(1)` be initial state of electron. Then
`E_(1)=-(13.6)/(n_(1)^(2))eV` Here `E_(1)=-0.85eV`, THEREFORE
`-0.85=-(13.6)/(n_(1)^(2))` or `n_(1)=4`
