Heat treatment of muscular pain involves radiation of wavelength of about 900 nm. Which spectral line of H atom is suitable for this
Given: Rydberg constant RH=105 cm-1, h=6.6×10-34Js, c=3×108m/s [2025]
(4)
λ=900 nm=900×10-9m
=900×10-9m×100 cm=9×10-5cm
RH=105cm-1
By Rydberg’s equation:
1λ=RHZ2(1n12-1n22)
19×10-5cm=105cm-1×(1)2(1n12-1n22)
(1n12-1n22)=19
n1=3, n2=∞
