Q61 / 90 · JEE Main 2012 (12 May Online) · Physics
A hypothetical atom has only three energy levels. The ground level has energy, $E_1=-8 \mathrm{eV}$. The two excited states have energies, $E_2=-6 \mathrm{eV}$ and $E_3=-2 \mathrm{eV}$. Then which of the following wavelengths will not be present in the emission spectrum of this atom?
- A$207 \mathrm{~nm}$
- Correct answerB$465 \mathrm{~nm}$
- C$310 \mathrm{~nm}$
- D$620 \mathrm{~nm}$
Solution
$E=\frac{h c}{\lambda}$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
