In Balmer series, wavelength of the 2 nd  line is ' λ 1 ' and for Paschen series, wavelength of the 1 st  line is ' λ 2 ', then the ratio ' λ 1 ' to ' λ 2 ' is

A. 5 : 128

B. 5 : 81

C. 7 : 27

D. 9 : 132

Correct Option is (C)

For spectral series, 1 λ = R Z 2 ( 1 n 1 2 1 n 2 2 )

For the Balmer series, n 1 = 2

The wavelength for 2 nd  line of the Balmer series is

1 λ 1 = RZ 2 ( 1 2 2 1 4 2 ) 1 λ 1 = RZ 2 ( 1 4 1 16 ) 1 λ 1 = RZ 2 ( 3 16 ) λ 1 = [ 16 3 ]

For the Paschen series, n 1 = 3

The wavelength for 1 st  line of the Paschen series is

1 λ 2 = R Z 2 ( 1 3 2 1 4 2 ) 1 λ 2 = R Z 2 ( 1 9 1 16 ) λ 2 = 144 7 1 λ 2 = R Z 2 ( 7 144 ) λ 1 λ 2 = 16 3 × 7 144 = 7 27

In Lyman series, series limit of wavelength is λ 1 . The wavelength of first line of Lyman series is λ 2 and in Balmer series, the series limit of wavelength is λ 3 . Then the relation between λ 1 , λ 2 and λ 3 is

A. λ 1 = λ 2 + λ 3

B. λ 2 = λ 1 + λ 3

C. 1 λ 1 = 1 λ 2 1 λ 3

D. 1 λ 1 1 λ 2 = 1 λ 3

Correct Option is (D)

According to Rydberg's formula,

1 λ = R ( 1 n 2 1   m 2 )

For series limit of Lyman series,

n = 1 ,   m = , λ = λ 1 1 λ 1 = R

For 1 st  line of Lyman series,

n = 1 ,   m = 2 , λ = λ 2 1 λ 2 = 3 R 4

For series limit of Balmer series,

n = 2 ,   m = , λ = λ 3 1 λ 3 = R 4

Now, 1 λ 1 1 λ 2 = R 3 R 4 = R 4

1 λ 1 1 λ 2 = 1 λ 3

The wavelength of radiation emitted is ' λ 0 ' when an electron jumps from the second excited state to the first excited state of hydrogen atom. If the electron jumps from the third excited state to the second orbit of the hydrogen atom, the wavelength of the radiation emitted will be 20 x λ 0 . The value of x is

A. 3

B. 9

C. 13

D. 27

Correct Option is (D)

According to Rydberg's formula,

1 λ = R ( 1 n 1 2 1 n 2 2 ) ...... (i)

When electron jumps from 2 nd  exited state to first exited state,

n 2 = 3 , n 1 = 2 , λ = λ 0 , we get

1 λ 0 = R ( 1 2 2 1 3 2 )

When electron jumps from 3 rd  exited state to 2 nd  orbit,

n 2 = 4 , n 1 = 2 , we get

1 λ = R ( 1 4 2 1 2 2 )

λ λ 0 = R ( 1 2 2 1 3 2 ) R ( 1 2 2 1 4 2 ) = 5 36 × 16 3 = 20 27 λ = 20 27 λ 0 x = 27

According to Bohr's theory of hydrogen atom, the total energy of the electron in the n th  stationary orbit is

A. directly proportional to n

B. inversely proportional to n

C. directly proportional to n 2

D. inversely proportional to n 2

Correct Option is (D)

According to Bohr's theory of hydrogen atom, the equation for total energy of the electron in the n th  stationary orbit is,

E n = m Z 2 e 4 8 ε 0 2   h 2 n 2 E n 1 n 2

Bohr model is applied to a particle of mass ' m ' and charge ' q ' moving in a plane under the influence of a transverse magnetic field ' B '. The energy of the charged particle in the n th  leve will be [ h = Planck's constant ]

A. n h q B 4 π m

B. n h q B 2 π m

C.  nhqB  π m

D. 2 nhqB π m

Correct Option is (A)

We know,

mvr = nh 2 π vr = nh 2 π m .... (i)

Also,

qvB = mv 2 r mv = qBr .... (ii) mv 2 r = qBr × nh 2 π m ....(Multiplying (i) with (ii)) E = 1 2 mv 2 = n [ qBh 4 π m ]
