Ionisation potential of hydrogen atom is \(13.6 \mathrm{eV}\). When hydrogen atoms in ground state are excited by a supply of \(12.1 \mathrm{eV}\), then the number of spectral lines emitted by hydrogen atoms according to Bohr's theory is

  1. A \(2\)
  2. B \(3\)
  3. C \(1\)
  4. D \(4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, ionisation potential of hydrogen atom, \(E_1=-13.6 \mathrm{eV}\) Energy supplied = Energy absorbed by hydrogen atom. \(\Delta E=12.1 \mathrm{eV}\) i.e. final energy of excited state, \(E_2=\frac{-13.6 \mathrm{eV}}{n^2}\) We know that, \(E_2-E_1=\Delta E\)…
