Question

The Rydberg formula, for the spectrum of the hydrogen atom where all terms have their usual meaning is

• A. $h\upsilon_{if} = \frac{me^{4}}{8\varepsilon_{0}^{2}h^{2}} \left(\frac{1}{n_{f}} -\frac{1}{n_{i}}\right)$
• B. $h\upsilon_{if} = \frac{me^{4}}{8\varepsilon_{0}^{2}h^{2}} \left(\frac{1}{n^{2}_{f}} -\frac{1}{n^{2}i}\right)$
• C. $h\upsilon_{if} =\frac{8\varepsilon_{0}^{2}h^{2}}{me^{4}} \left(\frac{1}{n_{f}} -\frac{1}{n_{i}}\right)$
• D. $h\upsilon_{if} =\frac{8\varepsilon_{0}^{2}h^{2}}{me^{4}} \left(\frac{1}{n^{2}_{f}} -\frac{1}{n^{2}i}\right)$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Correct answer is (b) $h\upsilon_{if} = \frac{me^{4}}{8\varepsilon_{0}^{2}h^{2}} \left(\frac{1}{n^{2}_{f}} -\frac{1}{n^{2}i}\right)$
