Question:

The frequency of 1st line of Balmer series in H2 atom is v0. The frequency of line emitted by singly ionised He atom is 

Options:

2$v_0$

4$v_0$

$v_0$/2

$v_0$/4

Correct Answer:

4$v_0$

Explanation:

$\nu \propto Z^2 \Rightarrow \frac{\nu_{H_2}}{\nu_{H e}}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2=\frac{1}{4}$

$ \Rightarrow \nu_{H e}=4 \nu_{H_2}=4 \nu_0$
