JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 12. atoms

The first three spectral lines of \(H\) -atom in the Balmer series are given \(\lambda_{1}, \lambda_{2}, \lambda_{3}\) considering the Bohr atomic model, the wave lengths of first and third spectral lines \(\left(\frac{\lambda_{1}}{\lambda_{3}}\right)\) are related by a factor of approximately 'x' \(\times 10^{-1}\). The value of \(x\), to the nearest integer, is

  1. A \(20\)
  2. B \(22\)
  3. C \(25\)
  4. D \(15\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(15\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For 1 st line \(\frac{1}{\lambda_{1}}= R z^{2}\left(\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{3^{2}}\right)\) \(\frac{1}{\lambda_{1}}= R z^{2} \frac{5}{36}\) ........\((i)\) For \(3^{\text {rd }}\) line \(\frac{1}{\lambda_{3}}= Rz ^{2}\left(\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{5^{2}}\right)\)…
