Q 1 :    

The spectral series which corresponds to the electronic transition from the level n2 = 5, 6, ... to the level n1 = 4 is     [2024]

  • Pfund series

     

  • Brackett series

     

  • Lymann series

     

  • Balmer series

     

(2)

Brackett series corresponds to the electronic transition from n2=5,6... to n1=4 level.

D. n2 = 6 to n1 = 2 IV. 486.1

 

Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

  • A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III

     

  • A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I

     

  • A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II

     

  • A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV

     

(2)

Wavelength of spectral lines of hydrogen is given by 1λ=R[1n12-1n22]

For n2=3 to n1=2

1λ=1.09×107[1(2)2-1(3)2]

λ=656.3 nm

AIII

For n2=4 to n1=2

1λ=1.09×107[1(2)2-1(4)2]λ=486.1 nm

BIV

For n2=5 to n1=2

1λ=1.09×107[1(2)2-1(5)2]λ=434.1 nm

CII

For n2=6 to n1=2

1λ=1.09×107[1(2)2-1(6)2]λ=410.2 nm

DI

Option (2) is correct



Q 3 :    

In hydrogen spectrum, the shortest wavelength in the Balmer series is λ. The shortest wavelength in the Bracket series is          [2023]

  • 9λ

     

  • 16λ

     

  • 2λ

     

  • 4λ

     

(4)

Shortest wavelength in Balmer series when transition of electron from  to n=2

1λ=R(122-12)

1λ=R22=R4                                             ...(i)

For Brackett series,

1λ'=R(1)2(142-12)=R(142)=R16                ...(ii)

Divide (i) by (ii), we get

λ'λ=164=4λ'=4λ



Q 4 :    

If an electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from the 3rd orbit to the 2nd orbit, it emits a photon of wavelength λ. When it jumps from the 4th orbit to the 3rd orbit, the corresponding wavelength of the photon will be           [2016]

  • 1625λ

     

  • 916λ

     

  • 207λ

     

  • 2013λ

     

(3)

When electron jumps from higher orbit to lower orbit, then the wavelength of emitted photon is given by,

      1λ=R(1nf2-1ni2)

so,  1λ=R(122-132)=5R36  and  1λ'=R(132-142)=7R144

   λ'=1447×5λ36=20λ7



Q 5 :    

Hydrogen atom in ground state is excited by a monochromatic radiation of λ = 975 Å. Number of spectral lines in the resulting spectrum emitted will be     [2014]

  • 3

     

  • 2

     

  • 6

     

  • 10

     

(3)

Energy of the photon, E=hcλ

  E=6.63×10-34×3×108975×10-10J

     =6.63×10-34×3×108975×10-10×1.6×10-19eV=12.75 eV

After absorbing a photon of energy 12.75 eV, the electron will reach the third excited state of energy -0.85 eV, since the energy difference corresponding to n=1 and n=4 is 12.75 eV.

   Number of spectral lines emitted=n(n-1)2=4(4-1)2=6
