Q21 / 90 · JEE Main 2024 (08 Apr Shift 2) · Chemistry
Wavenumber for a radiation having \(5800 Ã…\) wavelength is \(x \times 10 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\). The value of \(x\) is ________ (Integer answer)
Correct answer: 1724
Solution
$\bar{v}($ wave no. $)=\frac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{1}{5800 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~cm}}=17241$
OR
$1724 \times 10 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1} \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=1724$
Hence, the correct answer is 1724.
