When an excited electron falls from n = 3 to n = 2, a red radiation in the Balmer series emitted. What is the frequency of this photon?

A. 6.63 x 10-34 Hz
B. 2.19 x 1016 Hz
C. 5.28 x 1011 Hz
D. 4.57 x 1014 Hz

Respuesta :

Answer:

The frequency of this photon is [tex]4.57\times10^{14}\ Hz[/tex]

(D) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Excited states,

[tex]n=3[/tex]

[tex]n=2[/tex]

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula for energy

[tex]E=13.6(\dfrac{1}{n^2}-\dfrac{1}{m^2})[/tex]

[tex]E=13.6(\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{1}{9})[/tex]

[tex]E=1.888\ eV[/tex]

[tex]E=1.888\times1.6\times10^{-19}\ J[/tex]

[tex]E=3.0208\times10^{-19}\ J[/tex]

We need to calculate the frequency

Using formula of frequency

[tex]E=hf[/tex]

[tex]f=\dfrac{E}{h}[/tex]

Where, E =energy

[tex]f=\dfrac{3.0208\times10^{-19}}{6.63\times10^{-34}}[/tex]

[tex]f=4.57\times10^{14}\ Hz[/tex]

Hence, The frequency of this photon is [tex]4.57\times10^{14}\ Hz[/tex]
