- A \(\mathrm{n}=3\) to \(\mathrm{n}=1\)
- B \(\mathrm{n}=10\) to \(\mathrm{n}=1\)
- C \(\mathrm{n}=9\) to \(\mathrm{n}=1\)
- D \(\mathrm{n}=2\) to \(\mathrm{n}=1\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\mathrm{n}=3\) to \(\mathrm{n}=1\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Wave number of spectral line in emission spectrum of hydrogen,
\[
\bar{v}=R_{H}\left(\frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}}\right) \quad \text{...(i)}
\]
Given, \(\quad \bar{v}=\frac{8}{9} R_{H}\)
On putting the value of \(\bar{v}\) in Eq. (i), we get
\[
\begin{aligned}
\frac{8}{9} \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{H}} &=\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{H}}\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_{2}^{2}}\right) \\
\frac{8}{9} &=\frac{1}{(1)^{2}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_{2}^{2}} \\
\frac{8}{9}-1 &=-\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_{2}^{2}} \\
\frac{1}{3} &=\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_{2}} \\
\therefore \quad \mathrm{n}_{2} &=3
\end{aligned}
\]
Hence, electron jumps from \(\mathrm{n}_{2}=3\) to \(\mathrm{n}_{1}=1\)
\[
\bar{v}=R_{H}\left(\frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}}\right) \quad \text{...(i)}
\]
Given, \(\quad \bar{v}=\frac{8}{9} R_{H}\)
On putting the value of \(\bar{v}\) in Eq. (i), we get
\[
\begin{aligned}
\frac{8}{9} \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{H}} &=\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{H}}\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_{2}^{2}}\right) \\
\frac{8}{9} &=\frac{1}{(1)^{2}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_{2}^{2}} \\
\frac{8}{9}-1 &=-\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_{2}^{2}} \\
\frac{1}{3} &=\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_{2}} \\
\therefore \quad \mathrm{n}_{2} &=3
\end{aligned}
\]
Hence, electron jumps from \(\mathrm{n}_{2}=3\) to \(\mathrm{n}_{1}=1\)
