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

1λ=Z2me48ε02Ch31n12-1n22

Hydrogen atom Z = 1

Deutron Z = 1

Singly ionised He , Z = 2

Doubly ionised Li , Z = 3         (Gives shortest λ)

Light is a kind of wave. The wavelength of visible light ranges from about 4000 A to 7000 A. Which of the following statements is false?

Explanation

Visible light has wavelength ranging from 4000 A to 7000 A from violet to red, λ red > λ violet. Ultraviolet has shorter wavelength than violet (4000 A). Infra red has longer wavelength than red (7000 A). Therefore, choice D is correct, which is a false statement.
