If an electron in hydrogen atom jumps from an orbit of level $n=3$ to an orbit at level $n=2$, emitted radiation has a frequency of ( $R=$ Rydberg's constant and $c=$ velocity of light)
  1. $\frac{3 R c}{27}$
  2. $\frac{R c}{25}$
  3. $\frac{8 R c}{9}$
  4. $\frac{5 R c}{36}$

Solution

When an electron jumps from orbit $n_{i}$ to $n_{f}$, then the frequency of emitted photon is $v=c R\left(\frac{1}{n_{f}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{i}^{2}}\right)$ Here, $n_{i}=3, n_{f}=2$ $\Rightarrow \quad v=c R\left[\frac{1}{(2)^{2}}-\frac{1}{(3)^{2}}\right]=\frac{5 R c}{36}$
