JEE Main 2024 — 1 February, Shift 2 — Question 55

A particular hydrogen - like ion emits the radiation of frequency 3×1015 Hz3 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~Hz} when it makes transition from n=2\mathrm{n}=2 to n=1\mathrm{n}=1. The frequency of radiation emitted in transition from n=3\mathrm{n}=3 to n=1\mathrm{n}=1 is x9×1015 Hz\frac{\mathrm{x}}{9} \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~Hz}, when x=\mathrm{x}= _______\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ .

Step-by-step solution

E=−13.6z2(1ni2−1nf2)E=-13.6 z^{2}\left(\frac{1}{n_{i}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{f}^{2}}\right)

E=C(1nf2−1ni2)E=C\left(\frac{1}{n_{f}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{i}^{2}}\right)

hv=C[1nf2−1ni2]\mathrm{h} v=\mathrm{C}\left[\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{f}}^{2}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{i}}^{2}}\right]

v1v2=[1nf2−1ni2]2−1[1nf2−1ni2]3−1\frac{v_{1}}{v_{2}}=\frac{\left[\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{f}}^{2}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{i}}^{2}}\right]_{2-1}}{\left[\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{f}}^{2}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{i}}^{2}}\right]_{3-1}}

=[11−14][11−19]=3/48/9=\frac{\left[\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{4}\right]}{\left[\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{9}\right]}=\frac{3 / 4}{8 / 9}

=34×98=\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{9}{8} v1v2=2732\frac{v_{1}}{v_{2}}=\frac{27}{32}

v2=3227v1=3227×3×1015 Hz=329×1015 Hzv_{2}=\frac{32}{27} v_{1}=\frac{32}{27} \times 3 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~Hz}=\frac{32}{9} \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~Hz}
