Question:

The wavelength of radiation emitted, when He+ makes a transition from the state n = 3 to the state n = 2 will be:

(Take Rydberg constant R = 1.097 × 107 m-1)

Options:

1.641 nm

164.1 nm

16.41 nm

1641 nm

Correct Answer:

164.1 nm

Explanation:

$ \frac{1}{\lambda} = R Z^2( \frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{3^2}) = 4R (\frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{9} ) = 4R(\frac{5}{36}) = \frac{5R}{9}$

$ \lambda = \frac{9}{5R} = \frac{9}{5} \times 91.2nm = 164.1 nm$
