If an electron in the excited state falls to ground state, a photon of energy 5 eV is emitted, then the wavelength of the photon is nearly

  1. A 748 nm
  2. B 598 nm
  3. C 398 nm
  4. D 248 nm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 248 nm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \lambda = \frac{hc}{E} \) \( \lambda = \frac{1240 \, \text{eV} \cdot \text{nm}}{5 \, \text{eV}} \) \( \lambda = 248 \, \text{nm} \)
