A gas of hydrogen-like ions is prepared in a particular excited state A. It emits photons having wavelength equal to the wavelength

Monjur Alahi

A gas of hydrogen-like ions is prepared in a particular excited state A. It emits photons having wavelength equal to the wavelength of the first line of the Lyman series together with photons of five other wavelengths. Identify the gas and find the principal quantum number of the state A.

a) The gas emits 6 wavelengths, let it be in nth excited state.

=> n(n-1)/2=6=>n=4

So,  The gas is in 4th excited state.

b) Total no.of wavelengths in the transition is 6. We have  n(n-1)/2=6 =>n=4.

An atom absorbs a photon of wavelength 500 nm and emits another photon of wavelength 700 nm.

λ1 = 500 nm = 500 x 10–9m, λ2 = 700 nm = 700 x 10–9 m E1 – E2 = Energy absorbed by the atom in the process. = hc [1/λ1 – 1/λ2] =>...
