The first three spectral lines of H-atom in the Balmer series are given λ1,λ2,λ3 considering the Bohr atomic model, the wave lengths of first and third spectral lines λ1λ3 are related by a factor of approximately x ×10-1. The value of x, to the nearest integer, is ________.

Solution

1λ1=Rz2122-132

1λ1=Rz2536   ...(i)

For 3rd line

1λ3=Rz2122-152

1λ3=Rz221100   ...(ii)

(ii)+(i)

λ1λ3=21100×365=1.512=15.12×10-1
