Nuclear Physics And Radioactivity Question 38

Question: The ionisation potential of H-atom is $ 13.6,V $ . When it is excited from ground state by monochromatic radiations of $ 970.6,{AA} $ , the number of emission lines will be (according to Bohr?s theory) [RPET 1999]

Options:

A) 10

B) 8

C) 6

D) 4

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ \frac{1}{\lambda }=R[ \frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}} ] $
$ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{970.6\times {{10}^{-10}}}=1.097\times 10^{7}[ \frac{1}{1^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}} ] $
$ \Rightarrow n_{2}=4 $
$ \therefore $ Number of emission lines $ N=\frac{n(n-1)}{2}=\frac{4\times 3}{2}=6 $
