In Li++,electron in first Bohr orbit is excited to a level by a radiation of wavelength λ.When the ion gets de excited to the ground state in all possible ways (including intermediate emissions), a total of six spectral lines are observed. What is the value of  λ ?

(Given:  h=6.63×10-34 J s ;c=3×108 m s-1 )
  1. 10.8 nm
  2. 9.4 nm
  3. 11.4 nm
  4. 12.3 nm

Solution

Total Number of possible spectral lines that can be emmited when atom de-excites from state n to groundstate is C2n
 nC2=6n(n-1)2=6n=4
1λ=R z2112-142=1.097×107×9×1-116
λ=10.8 nm
