Here's the question ~

Heat treatment of muscular pain involves radiation of wavelength of about 900 nm (nm = 10-⁹ m). which spectral line of H - atom is suitable for this purpose ?

[ RH = 1 × 10⁵ cm-¹ ]

[ h = 6.6 × 10-³⁴ Js ]

[ c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s ]


Thanks for Answering ! ​

Respuesta :

Using the Rydberg formula, the spectral line of H - atom is suitable for this purpose is Paschen, ∞ → 3.

  • Using the Rydberg formula;

1/λ = RH(1/nf^2 - 1/ni^2)

Given that;

λ = wavelength

RH = Rydberg constant

nf = final state

ni = initial state

  • When final state = 3 and initial state =

Then;

1/λ =  1 × 10^7 m-1 (1/3^2 - 1/ ∞^2)

1/λ =  1 × 10^7 m-1 (1/3^2 )

λ = 900 nm

Hence, the correct answer is Paschen, ∞ → 3
