JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 12. atoms

The wavelength of the radiation emitted is \(\lambda_0\) when an electron jumps from the second excited state to the first excited state of hydrogen atom. If the electron jumps from the third excited state to the second orbit of the hydrogen atom, the wavelength of the radiation emitted will be \(\frac{20}{x} \lambda_0\). The value of \(x\) is \(........\)

  1. A \(22\)
  2. B \(21\)
  3. C \(20\)
  4. D \(27\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(27\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Second excited state \(\rightarrow\) first excited state \(n =3 \rightarrow n =2\) \(\frac{ hc }{\lambda_0}=13.6\left(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2}\right) \ldots \ldots \text { (i) }\) Third excited state \(\rightarrow\) second orbit \(n =4 \rightarrow n =2\)…
