A beam of monochromatic light is used to excite the electron in \(Li ^{++}\)from the first orbit to the third orbit. The wavelength of monochromatic light is found to be \(x \times 10^{-10} \; m\). The value of \(x\) is \(\dots.\) [Given hc \(=1242 \; eV nm ]\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(114\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Z =3\)

\(\frac{1}{\lambda}=R Z^{2}\left(\frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}}\right)\)

\(n_{1}=1, \quad n_{2}=3,\)

\(\frac{1}{\lambda}=R(9)\left(\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{9}\right)=8 \; R\)

\(\lambda=\frac{1}{8 R}=114 \times 10^{-10} \; m\)
