What is the approximate wavelength of the radiation emitted when the electron in an hydrogen atom jumps from n = \( \infty \) to n = 3?

  1. A 822 A
  2. B 822 nm
  3. C 8220 nm
  4. D 365 nm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 822 nm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{1}{\lambda} = R_H \left( \frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} \right) \) \( \frac{1}{\lambda} = 1.097 \times 10^7 \, m^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{3^2} - \frac{1}{\infty^2} \right) \)…
