Hydrogen atom in ground state is excited by a monochromatic radiation of = 975 A. Number of spectral lines in the resulting spectrum emitted will be
- 3
- 2
- 6
- 10
Answer
(3) 6
Solution
Energy of the photon:
E = 12400975 eV 12.75 eV
Excited level: 13.6 (1 - 1n2 ) = 12.75
1n2 = 116 ⇒ n = 4
Number of spectral lines:
n(n-1)2 = 4 32 = 6
Answer: (3)
