(a) The Lyman series in hydrogen is the transition from energy levels n = 2, 3, 4, ... to the ground state n = 1. The energy levels are given by 13.60 eV En n- (i) What is the second longest wavelength in nm of the Lyman series? (ii) What is the series limit of the Lyman series? [1 eV = 1.602 x 1019 J, h = 6.626 × 10-34 J.s, c = 3 × 10° m.s] %3D Two emission lines have wavelengts A and + A2, respectively, where AA <<2. Show that the angular separation A0 in a grating spectrometer is given aproximately by (b) A0 = V(d/m)-2 where d is the grating constant and m is the order at which the lines are observed.
(i) In hydrogen atom, an electron undergoes transition from 2nd excited state to the first excited state and then to the ground state. Identify the spectral series to which these transitions belong. (ii) Find out the ratio of the wavelengths of the emitted radiations in the two cases.
(b) A photon is emitted by a doubly ionised lithium atom (Li²+) when an electron makes a transition to the ground state. The wavelength of the photon is measured to be 10.83 nanometres.
