Q.
A hydrogen atom in its ground state is irradiated by light of wavelength 970A˚. Taking hc/e=1.237×10−6eVm and the ground state energy of hydrogen atom as −13.6eV, the number of lines present in the emission spectrum is.
Z=1 n=1 λ=970 E=97012400eV=12.75eV
Energy difference between n=1&n=4
So electron transit to n=4 ∴ no. of lines in emission spectrum =2n(n−1)=24(4−1)=6
