What will be the wavelength of the emitted radiations when an electron jumps from a third orbit to a first orbit in a hydrogen atom? Rydberg constant, R= 109737 cm^(-1)

Answer»

Solution :We have for hydrogen (Z=1)
`(1)/(lamda)= R ((1)/(n_(1)^(2))-(1)/(n_(2)^(2)))`
Here `n_(1)=1 and n_(2)=3`
`THEREFORE (1)/(lamda)= 109737 ((1)/(1^(2)) - (1)/(3^(2)))`
`lamda= 1.025 xx 10^(-5)` cm/wave
