MCQ
The electron in the $n ^{\text {th }}$ orbit of $Li ^{2+}$ is excited to $(n+1)$ orbit using the radiation of energy $1.47 \times 10^{-17}\,J$ (as shown in the diagram). The value of $n$ is $....$.Given $R_H=2.18 \times 10^{-18}\,J$
  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $3$
  • $1$
  • D
    $4$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$1$
c
$\Delta E = R _{ H } Z ^2\left(\frac{1}{ n _1^2}-\frac{1}{ n _2^2}\right)$

$1.47 \times 10^{-17}=2.18 \times 10^{-15} \times 9\left(\frac{1}{n^2}-\frac{1}{(n+1)^2}\right)$

$\frac{1.47}{1.96}=\frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{n^2}-\frac{1}{(n+1)^2}$

So, $n =1$
