Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for hydrogen atomic spectrum is as follows
energy of photon due to transition from higher orbit n₂ to n₁
For layman series n₁ = 1 and n₂ = 2 , 3 , 4 , ... etc
energy of first line
10.2 eV
wavelength of photon = 12375 / 10.2 = 1213.2 A
energy of 2 nd line
= 12.08 eV
wavelength of photon = 12375 / 12.08 = 1024.4 A
energy of third line
12.75 e V
wavelength of photon = 12375 / 12.75 = 970.6 A
energy of fourth line
= 13.056 eV
wavelength of photon = 12375 / 13.05 = 948.3 A
energy of fifth line
13.22 eV
wavelength of photon = 12375 / 13.22 = 936.1 A
