Compute the shortest wavelength radiation in the Balmer series? What value of n must be used? (Ans: 364.5 nm & n = ∞)
Data Given:
Balmer Series:
∴ Rydberg constant = R = 1.0974 x 10⁷ m⁻¹
To Find:
(a) Shortest Wavelength in Balmer Series = λmin = ?
(b) Energy level = n = ?
Solution:
Rydberg formula for Balmer Series:
where n = 3,4,5,..............
by putting values
1λmin = 1.0974 x 10⁷ m⁻¹ ( 12²-1∞²)
1λmin = 1.0974 x 10⁷ m⁻¹ ( 14-0)
1λmin = 1.0974x10⁷m⁻¹4
by flipping the fraction on both sides of the equation we get
λmin = 41.0974x10⁷m⁻¹
or
λmin = 3.6449 x 10⁻⁷ m
or
λmin = 364.5 x 10⁻⁹ m
λmin = 364.5 nm
and the excited energy level n = ∞------------Ans.
