MCQ

The electron in a hydrogen atom first jumps from the third excited state to the second excited state and subsequently to the first excited state. The ratio of the respective wavelengths, $\lambda _1/\lambda _2$, of the photons emitted in this process is

✓
$20/7$
B
$7/5$
C
$9/7$
D
$27/5$

Answer

Correct option: A.

$20/7$

a
$\frac{1}{\lambda } = R\left( {\frac{1}{{n_f^2}} - \frac{1}{{n_i^2}}} \right);$ $\frac{1}{{{\lambda _1}}} = R\left( {\frac{1}{{{3^2}}} - \frac{1}{{{4^2}}}} \right)$

$\frac{1}{{{\lambda _1}}} = R\left( {\frac{7}{{9 \times 16}}} \right);$ $\frac{1}{{{\lambda _2}}} = R\left( {\frac{1}{{{2^2}}} - \frac{1}{{{3^2}}}} \right)$

$=R\left(\frac{5}{4 \times 9}\right)$

$\frac{\lambda_{1}}{\lambda_{2}}=\frac{\frac{5}{36}}{\frac{7}{9 \times 16}}=\frac{20}{7}$
