Q2 / 99 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Chemistry · Structure of Atom

The atomic structure of He+ arises due to transition from n2 to n1 level. If n1+n2 is 3 and n2-n1 is 1. Find the λ in nm of transition for this series in He+ in nm.

Correct answer: 30

Solution

n1+n2=3 …(i)
n2-n1=1 …(ii)
2n2=4
So n2=2
Putting the value of n2 in (i) n1=3-n2=3-2=1
1λ=Rz21n12-1n22=R.22112-122
λ=13R=13×109678cm-1
=3×10-6cm=3×10-6×107=30 nm.

Hence, the correct answer is 30.
