Some energy levels of a molecule are shown in the figure with their wavelengths of transitions. Then [2024]
(4)
As, ΔE=Ei-Ef and λ=hcΔE
ΔE1=-5E2-(-4E)=3E2
λ1=hcΔE1=2hc3E ...(i)
ΔE2=-2E-(-3E)=-2E+3E=E
λ2=hcΔE2=hcE ...(ii)
ΔE3=-2E-(-4E)=-2E+4E=2E
λ3=hcΔE3=hc2E ...(iii)
From equation (i), (ii) and (iii)
λ2>λ1>λ3 and λ2=2λ3
