The ground state energy of hydrogen atom is 13.6 eV. If an electron makes a transition from an energy level − 1.51 eV to − 3.4 eV , calculate the wavelength of the spectral line emitted and name the series of hydrogen spectrum to which it belongs.
Solution:
(a) Calculation of energy difference
(b) Formula
(c) Calculation of wavelength
(d) Name of the series of spectral lines
Energy difference= 3.4 eV − 1.51 eV = 1.89 eV = 3.024 × 10 − 19 J
Energy=
= 3.024 × 10 − 19 J
Wavelength= 6.57 × 10 − 7 m
Series is Balmer series.
