Interpretation:
Wavelength of the light that is emitted will be greater or not if the electron relax directly back to
Concept Introduction:
By absorbing or emitting
Where,
Explanation of Solution
Hydrogen atom absorbs photon and is excited to
Energy of photon emitted on relaxation from
Wavelength of the light is calculated as shown below.
Wavelength of light when photon is emitted on relaxation from
Energy of photon emitted on relaxation from
Wavelength of the light is calculated as shown below.
Wavelength of light when photon is emitted on relaxation from
Therefore, comparing both wavelengths of light, it is found that the wavelength of light emitted from
