Given below are two statements: In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- Statement I is false but Statement II is true
- Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Answer
(3) Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Solution
Statement I: For the Balmer series n1 = 2; the line of lowest energy is n2 = 3 n1 = 2.
= RH ( 122 - 132 )
= RH ( 14 - 19 ) = 536RH cm-1. True.
Statement II: As the temperature of a black body increases, the maximum of the intensity–wavelength curve shifts to shorter wavelength (Wien's law, maxT = constant). True.
