In a hydrogen atom, an electron jumps from third orbit to the orbit. Find out the spectral line.

Answer» Step I. Calculation of the wave length of the spectral line
According to Rydbergy formula :
`(1)/(lambda)=bar(v)=R_(H)[(1)/(n_(1)^(2))-(1)/(n_(2)^(2))] , R_(H)=109678 cm^(_1) , n_(1)=1, n_(2)=3`.
`:. " " (1)/(lambda)=109678 [(1)/(1^(2))-(1)/(3^(2))]=109678 [(9-1)/(9)]cm^(-1)`.
`"or" " " lambda=(9)/(109678 xx8) cm =(9xx10^(-2)m)/(109678 xx 8)=1.0257 xx 10^(-7) m`.
Step II. Calculation of the frequency of the spectral line
`c=v lambda "or" v=c//lambda , c=3.0 xx 10^(8)ms^(-1), lambda =1.0257 xx 10^(-7) m`.
`:. " " v=((3.0 xx 10^(8)ms^(-1)))/((1.0257 xx 10^(-7)m))=2.9248 xx 10^(15) s^(-1)`(Hz).
