MCQ
How many spectral lines does hydrogen have?
  • Four
  • B
    Three
  • C
    Two
  • D
    One

Answer

Correct option: A.
Four

Niels Bohr calculated the energies that a hydrogen atom would have in each of its energy levels, based on the wavelength of the spectral lines.
Then he found out that there are four spectral lines for hydrogen, namely, Lyman, Balmer, Paschen, and Brackett series.
The Lyman series lies in the $UV$ region, whereas the Balmer series lies in the visible region, and the last two lie in the infrared region.

For a prism of prism angle $\theta=60^{\circ}$, the refractive indices of the left half and the right half are, respectively, $n_1$ and $n_2\left(n_2 \geq n_1\right)$ as shown in the figure. The angle of incidence $i$ is chosen such that the incident light rays will have minimum deviation if $n_1=n_2=n=1.5$. For the case of unequal refractive indices, $n_1=n$ and $n_2=n+\Delta n$ (where $\Delta n \ll n$ ), the angle of emergence $e=i+\Delta e$.

Which of the following statement($s$) is (are) correct?

$(A)$ The value of $\Delta e$ (in radians) is greater than that of $\Delta n$

$(B)$ $\Delta e$ is proportional to $\Delta n$

$(C)$ $\Delta e$ lies between 2.0 and 3.0 milliradians, if $\Delta n=2.8 \times 10^{-3}$

$(D)$ $\Delta e$ lies between 1.0 and 1.6 milliradians, if $\Delta n=2.8 \times 10^{-3}$
