ANSWER:
Solution: The line spectrum observed in case of hydrogen atom can be quantitatively explained using Bohr’s model. When an electron jumps from a lower orbit to a higher orbit, it absorbs energy. When the electron jumps from higher orbit to lower orbit, it emits energy. The amount of energy absorbed or emitted when an electron jumps from orbit n(initial orbit) to i orbit n(final orbit) may be given as: f --------(1) Step1: In the Balmer series, for n = 3, the possible values of n = 4, 5, 6,.... Considering n = 3 and n = f i f i 4, the amount of energy emitted is given by: -18 1 1 E = (-2.18 x 10 J) ( 32 42 ) -18 1 1 = (-2.18 x 10 J) ( 9 16) = (-2.18 x 10 -18J)(7 / 144) = (-2.18 x 10 -18J) x (0.049) -18 = -0.107 x 10 J = -1.07 x 10 -19J Here, (-)ve sign indicates emission of energy. Step2: Wavelength of the radiation, is given by- = hc / E, where h is the Planck’s constant and c is the velocity of light -34 Here, Planck's constant, h = 6.626 x 10 J.s Velocity of light, c = 3 x 10 m/sec Substituting the value in the above expression, we get, = [(6.626 x 10 J.s) x (3 x 10 m/sec)] / (1.07 x 10 -19J) = 18.58 x 10 m -7 -6 = 1.858 x 10 m = 1858 x 10 m -9 Thus, wavelength of the radiation is 1858 nm. Step3: Out of all the radiations in the electromagnetic spectrum, the
