Q.

During the transition of electron from state A to state C of a Bohr atom, the wavelength of emitted radiation is 2000 A° and it becomes 6000 A° when the electron jumps from state B to state C. Then the wavelength of the radiation emitted during the transition of electrons from state A to state B is         [2025]

1 3000 A°  
2 6000 A°  
3 4000 A°  
4 2000 A°  

Ans.

(1)

For A to CEAEC=hc2000 A°          ... (i)

and for B to CEBEC=hc6000 A°          ... (ii)

Now for A to BEAEB=(EAEC)(EBEC)

hcλAB=hc2000hc6000

1λAB=13000 A°  λAB=3000 A°
