Explanation

(c) For Paschen series v¯=1λ=R132-1n2 ; n=4, 5, 6....
For first member of Paschen series n = 4
1λ1=R132-1421λ1=7R144

R=1447λ1=1447×18800×10-10=1.1×10-7

For shortest wave length n = 
So

1λ=R132-12=R9λ=9R=91.1×10-7=8.225×10-7 m =8225 A0

Explanation

(d) For Lyman series 1λmax=R112-122=34R  and 

1λmin=R112-12=R1λmaxλmin=43

Explanation

(a) For Bracket series 1λmax=R142-152=925×16R
and 1λmin=R142-12=R16λmaxλmin=259

The electron in a hydrogen atom makes a transition from an excited state to the ground state. Which of the following statements is true 

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

(a) For hydrogen and hydrogen like atoms En=-13.6z2n2 eV

Un=2En=-27.2 z2n2 eV and Kn=En=13.6 z2n2 eV  

From these three relations we can see that as n decreases, Kn will increase but En and Un will decreases.

The ratio of minimum to maximum wavelength in Balmer series is
