Chemistry Question on Quantum Mechanical Model of Atom
The energy of electron in the nth orbit of hydrogen atom is expressed as 3cm . The shortest and longest wavelength of Lyman series will be :
A
(η=2×10−4Ns/m2):
B
6.6×10−6N
C
6.6×10−5N
D
none of these
Answer
(η=2×10−4Ns/m2):
Explanation
Solution
Energy of electron in nth orbit of hydrogen atom is : 14 ×104 K 1 km/s2 100 m/s2 Now for shortest wavelength in Lyman series, the transition of atom takes place from infinity to n = 1 i.e., 10 m/s2 1m/s2 98m/s 490 m/s 4.9 m/s Again for longest wavelength in Lyman series, the transition of electron is from 83 23cm 3cm (η=2×10−4Ns/m2): 6.6×10−6N 6.6×10−5N 1.32×10−7N 13.2×10−7N
