JEE Main 2023 (Online) 25th January Evening Shift Physics - Atoms and Nuclei Question 77 English

Which one of these transitions will result in the emission of a photon of wavelength 124.1 nm?

Given (h = 6.62 $$\times$$ 10$$^{-34}$$ Js)

C
B
A
D

Explanation

$$ \begin{aligned} & \lambda=\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\Delta \mathrm{E}} \\\\ & \Delta \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{A}}=2.2 \mathrm{eV} \\\\ & \Delta \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{B}}=5.2 \mathrm{eV} \\\\ & \Delta \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{C}}=3 \mathrm{eV} \\\\ & \Delta \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{D}}=10 \mathrm{eV} \\\\ & \lambda_{\mathrm{A}}=\frac{6.62 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8}{2.2 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \\\\ & =\frac{12.41 \times 10^{-7}}{2.2} \mathrm{~m} \\\\ & =\frac{1241}{2.2} \mathrm{~nm}=564 \mathrm{~nm} \\\\ & \lambda_{\mathrm{B}}=\frac{1241}{5.2} \mathrm{~nm}=238.65 \mathrm{~nm} \\\\ & \lambda_{\mathrm{C}}=\frac{1241}{3} \mathrm{~nm}=413.66 \mathrm{~nm} \\\\ & \lambda_{\mathrm{D}}=\frac{1241}{10}=124.1 \mathrm{~nm} \end{aligned} $$
