What happens whenever a hydrogen atom emits a photon in the Balmer series?
1. | it may emit another photon in the Balmer series. |
2. | it must emit another photon in the Lyman series. |
3. | it may emit another photon in the Paschen series. |
4. | it need not emit any more photon. |
Ionisation potential of hydrogen atom is 13.6 eV. Hydrogen atoms in the ground state are excited by monochromatic radiation of photon energy 12.1 eV. According to Bohr's theory, the spectral lines emitted by hydrogen will be:
1. two
2. three
3. four
4. one
Consider the spectral line resulting from transition \(n=2\) to \(n = 1\) in the atoms and ions given below. The shortest wavelength is given by:
1. | hydrogen atom |
2. | deuterium |
3. | singly ionised helium |
4. | doubly ionised lithium |
