MCQ
Monochromatic radiation of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a hydrogen sample containing in ground state. Hydrogen atoms absorb the light and subsequently emit radiations of ten different wavelengths. The value of $\lambda$ is.....$nm$
  • $95 $
  • B
    $103$
  • C
    $73$
  • D
    $88$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$95 $
a
$\frac{n(n-1)}{2}=10$

$\rightarrow n=5$

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R\left[1-\frac{1}{5^{2}}\right]$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\lambda}=R\left[\frac{25-1}{25}\right]$

$\Rightarrow=\frac{25}{24 \times 109677} \mathrm{cm}$

$\Rightarrow \lambda=95 n m$
