An electron in a Bohr orbit of hydrogen atom with the quantum number n2 has an angular momentum 4.2176×1034kgm2s1. If the electron drops from this level to the next lower level, the wavelength of this line is

a
18 nm
b
187 .6 pm
c
1876 Å
d
1.876 x 104 Å

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Angular momentum, L=4.2176×10−34=n2h2π⇒ n2=4For the transition from n2 = 4 to n1 = 3, the wavelength of spectral line λ.1λ=13.6hc132−142=13.6eV1240eVnm79×16λ=1240×14413.6×7=1876nm=18760Å =1.876×104Å
