    In hydrogen atom spectrum, frequency of \[2.7\times {{10}^{15}}Hz\]of electromagnetic wave is emitted when transmission takes place from to 1. If it moves from 3 to 1, the frequency emitted will be

    A) \[3.2\times {{10}^{15}}Hz\]                        

    B) \[32\times {{10}^{15}}Hz\]

    C) \[1.6\times {{10}^{15}}Hz\]                        

    D) \[16\times {{10}^{15}}Hz\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The   frequency   v   of   the   emitted electromagnetic radiation, when a hydrogen atom de-excites from level \[{{n}_{2}}\]to\[{{n}_{1}}\] is \[v=Rc{{Z}^{2}}\left( \frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}} \right)\]where\[{{n}_{1}}\]is lower level, \[{{n}_{2}}\]is higher level, R is Rydberg constant, c is velocity of light and Z is atomic number of atom. When transition takes place from \[{{n}_{2}}=2\]to \[{{n}_{1}}=1,\]then \[2.7\times {{10}^{15}}=Rc{{Z}^{2}}\left( \frac{1}{{{1}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{2}^{2}}} \right)\]  ?(i) When transition takes places from \[{{n}_{2}}=3\]to \[{{n}_{1}}=1,\]let frequency be v. \[\therefore \]        \[v=Rc{{Z}^{2}}\left( \frac{1}{{{1}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{3}^{2}}} \right)\]    ?(ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[v=\frac{32\times 2.7\times {{10}^{15}}}{27}\] \[=3.2\times {{10}^{15}}\text{Hz}\]
