Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf \lambda \: = 1.282 \times {10}^{ 3} nm}$

Explanation:

Suppose an electron makes transition from n initial (ni) to n final (nf) then formula for wavelength is given by,

$\frac{1}{ \lambda} = R_H {Z}^{2} \big(\frac{1}{{n_f^2}} - \frac{1}{{n_i^2}} \big)$

Where,

• λ is wavelength of photon
• Rʜ is rydberg constant, the value of Rʜ is

109690 Cm-¹ in Puri Sharma Pathania standard book of physical chemistry &

109737 Cm-¹ according to Wikipedia

• Z is the atomic number of atom, for hydrogen Z =1,

& according to given data, ni = 5, nf = 3

Solution:

Let's solve for wavelength,

Substituting all the given data in above formula,

$\frac{1}{ \lambda} = 109690 \times {1}^{2} \big(\frac{1}{{3^2}} - \frac{1}{{5^2}} \big)$

$\frac{1}{ \lambda} = 109690 \times {1}^{2} \big(\frac{1}{{9}} - \frac{1}{{25}} \big)$

$\frac{1}{ \lambda} = 109690 \times {1}^{2} \times \frac{25 - 9}{25 \times 9}$

$\frac{1}{ \lambda} = 109690 \times {1}^{2} \times \frac{16}{225}$

$\frac{1}{ \lambda} = 7800.18 \: \: cm ^{ - 1}$

$\lambda = 1.282 \times {10}^{ - 4} cm$

Now we know that, 1 cm = 10000000 nm,

Converting the wavelength from Cm → Nm

$\lambda \: = 1.282 \times {10}^{ - 4} \times {10}^{7}$

$\lambda \: = 1.282 \times {10}^{ - 4 + 7}$

$\sf \lambda \: = 1.282 \times {10}^{ 3} nm$
