Explanation

$ {1 \over \lambda } = R2^2[{1\over n_2^2} -{1\over n_1^2}] \leftarrow for \, any \,atom $

$ { 1 \over \lambda_1 (L) } = R(1)^2[{1\over 1^2} - {1 \over 2^2}]=RZ^2[{1\over 4} - { 1 \over 16 } ] {3RZ^2 \over 4}$

$ { 1 \over \lambda_1 (L) } = {3R \over 4} \Rightarrow \lambda_1(L) = { 4 \over 3R} $

$ { 1 \over \lambda_2 (B) } = R2^2[{1\over 2^2} - {1 \over 4^2}]=RZ^2[{1\over 4} - { 1 \over 16 } ] = {3RZ^2 \over 16}$

$ \Rightarrow \lambda _2 (B) = { 16 \over 3RZ^2} $ $ { \lambda_1 (L) \over \lambda _2 (B) }$ $ 1 = { 2^2 \over 4} \Rightarrow z^2= 4 Z=2$

Explanation

When hydrogen atom emits a photon in the Balmer series, electron transition occurs from n = 3, n = 4..... etc to n = 2. The electron transition from n = 2 to n = 1 also may take place. Therefore, it must emit a photon in Lyman series.

The ionisation potential of hydrogen atom is

Explanation

En=-13.6n2eV; E1=-13.6 eV

To remove electron from n = 1 to n = , 13.6 volt Potential (ionisation potential) is needed.

Which source is associated with a line emission spectrum? 

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

In line emission spectrum, every line spectrum consists of a few isolated bright lines, each bright line corresponds to a particular wavelength. It is emitted by atoms in the gaseous state.

e.g a sodium discharge lamp, a mercury vapour lamp, a neon discharge tube and a helium discharge tube all emit sharp lines of definite wavelength.

Ionisation potential of hydrogen atom is 13.6 eV. Hydrogen atoms in the ground state are excited by monochromatic radiation of photon energy 12.1 eV. According to Bohr's theory, the spectral lines emitted by hydrogen will be:

Explanation

Ionisation energy corresponding to ionisation potential (E1=-13.6 eV)

Photon energy incident (E) = 12.1 eV

So, the energy of electron in excited state (E2) is given by

E2-E1=EE2=E+E1E2=-13.6+12.1E2=-1.5 eVi.e. E2=-13.6n2eV-1.5=-13.6n2n2=-13.6-1.59 n=3i.e energy of electron in excited state corresponds to third orbit.The possible spectral lines is given by n(n-1)23(3-1)23
