A hydrogen atom emits a photon corresponding to an electron transition from n=5 to n=1. If R is the Rydberg constant, then the wavelength of emitted photon is

  1. A 2524R
  2. B 24R25
  3. C 45R
  4. D 5R4
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2524R

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From Rydberg's equation, wavelength is related to transition is given by, 1λ=R1nf2-1ni2 ⇒1λ=R112-152 ⇒1λ=R25-125 ⇒1λ=24R25 ⇒λ=2524R
