The quantim mechanical treatment of the hydrogen atom gives the energy vale:E_n=(-13.6)/(n^(2))eV "atom"^(-1)(i) use thios expression to find /_\Ebetween=3 and n=4(ii) Calcuilate the wavelength corresponding to the above transition.

Answer»

Solution :(i) When n=3
`E_3=(-13.6)/(3^(2))=(-13.6)/(9)=-1.511eV "atom"^(-1)`
When n=5`E_4=(-13.6)/(4^(2))=(-13.6)/(16)=-0.85 eV "atom"^(-1)`
`/_\E=E_4-E_3`
`=-0.85-(-1.511)=+0.661eV "atom"^(-1)`
`/_\E=E_3-E_4`
`=-1.511-(-0.85)`
`=-0.661 eV " atom"^(-1)`
(ii) WAVE length=`gamma `
`/_\E=(hc)/(gamma)`
`therefore gamma=(hc)/(/_\E)`
`/_\E=0.661xx1.6xx10^(-19)J`
`=1.06xx10^(-19)j`
h=planck.s constant=`6.626xx10^(-34)JS^(-1)`
`c=3xx10^(8)m/s`
`therefore gamma=(6.626xx10^(-34)xx3xx10^(8))/(1.06xx10^(-19))`
`=1875xx10^(-6)m.`
