Question

The frequency of radiation absorbed when H electron moves from n=1 to n=3 is (R=3.29×10¹⁵ Hz):
  1. A
    2.93×10¹⁵ Hz
    Correct
  2. B
    2.46×10¹⁵ Hz
  3. C
    3.29×10¹⁵ Hz
  4. D
    1.46×10¹⁵ Hz

Correct answer

2.93×10¹⁵ Hz

Explanation

ν = cR(1/1 − 1/9) = R×(8/9) = 3.29×10¹⁵ × 8/9 ≈ 2.93×10¹⁵ Hz.
