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

Explanation

The outermost electrons in an atom are called valence electrons. In alkali metals (IA group) outermost electron is present in s-orbital. Alkali metals have one valence electron. e.g. Li, Na, K.

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?

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