A hydrogen atom in its ground state is by light of wavelength ` 970Å Taking hc//e = 1.237 xx 10^(-6)eV m` and the ground state energy of hydrogen atom as ` - 13.6 eV` the number of lines present in the emmission spectrum is |
Answer» `E = (hc)/(lambda) = (1.237 xx 10^(-6))/(970 xx 10^(-10)) eV = 12.75 eV` `:. `The energy of electron after absorbing this photon `= - 13.6 + 12.75 = - 0.85eV ` This corresponds to `n = 4 ` Number of spectral line `= (n(n-1))/(2) = (4(4 - 1))/(2) = 6 ` |
