A hydrogen atom, initially in the ground state is excited by absorbing a photon of wavelength \(980\,\mathop A\limits^o \). The radius of the atom in the excited state, in  terms of Bohr radius \(a_0,\) will be \((hc\,=\,12500\,eV-\mathop A\limits^o)\)

Pick an option to check your answer.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(16\,a_0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Energy supplied

\(E=\frac{12400}{900}=12.65 \mathrm{eV}\)

\(\therefore \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{n}}-\mathrm{E}_{1}=12.65\)

\(\Rightarrow(13.6)\left(1-\frac{1}{n^{2}}\right)=12.65\)

\(\Rightarrow n^{2} \approx 14.3\)

\(\Rightarrow n \approx 4\)

\(r \propto n^{2}\)
