A photon is emitted in transition from n=4 to n=1 level in hydrogen atom. The corresponding wavelength for this transition is (given, h=4×10-15 eV s)
  1. 941 nm
  2. 974 nm
  3. 99.3 nm
  4. 94.1 nm

Solution

Using the relation between energy of photon and wavelength for the transition in the hydrogen atom, we get

hcλ=13.61n12-1n22

4×10-15×3×108λ=13.61-116λ=12×10-7×1613.6×15=94.1×10-9=94.1 nm
