उत्तर
b and d
Explanation:R)
The various lines in the atomic spectra are produced when electrons jump from higher energy state to a lower energy state and photons
- Mainly there are five series and each series is named after its discoverer as Lyman series, Balmer series, Paschen series, Bracket series and Pfund series,
- According to Bohr’s theory, the wavelength of the radiations ‘emitted from hydrogen atom is given by
`1/λ = R[1/n_1^2 - 1/n_2^2]`
⇒ `λ = (n_1^2n_2^2)/((n_1^2 - n_1^2) R) = n_1^2/((1 - n_1^2/n_2^2)R)`
| Different spectral series | ||||||
| Spectral series | Transition | λmax | λmin | `λ_"max"/λ_"min"` | Region | |
| 1. | Lyman series | n2 = 2, 3, 4 ... ∞ n1 = 1 |
`4/(3R)` | `1/R` | `4/3` | Ultraviolet region |
| 2. | Balmer series | n2 = 3, 4, 5 ... ∞ n1 = 2 |
`36/(5R)` | `4/R` | `9/5` | Visible region |
| 3. | Paschen series | n2 = 4, 5, 6 ... ∞ n1 = 3 |
`144/(7R)` | `9/R` | `16/7` | Infrared region |
| 4. | Bracket series | n2 = 5, 6, 7 ... ∞ n1 = 4 |
`400/(9R)` | `16/R` | `25/9` | Infrared region |
| 5. | Pfund series | n2 = 6, 7, 8 ... ∞ n1 = 5 |
`900/(11R)` | `25/R` | `36/11` | Infrared region |
From the above discussion, we can say the Balmer series for the H-atom can be observed if we measure the frequencies of light emitted due to transitions between higher excited states and the first excited state and as a sequence of frequencies with the’higher frequencies getting closely packed.

Classically, an electron can be in any orbit around the nucleus of an atom. Then what determines the typical atomic size? Why is an atom not, say, a thousand times bigger than its typical size? The question had greatly puzzled Bohr before he arrived at his famous model of the atom that you have learnt in the text. To simulate what he might well have done before his discovery, let us play as follows with the basic constants of nature and see if we can get a quantity with the dimensions of length that is roughly equal to the known size of an atom (~ 10−10 m).
(a) Construct a quantity with the dimensions of length from the fundamental constants e, me, and c. Determine its numerical value.
(b) You will find that the length obtained in (a) is many orders of magnitude smaller than the atomic dimensions. Further, it involves c. But energies of atoms are mostly in non-relativistic domain where c is not expected to play any role. This is what may have suggested Bohr to discard c and look for ‘something else’ to get the right atomic size. Now, the Planck’s constant h had already made its appearance elsewhere. Bohr’s great insight lay in recognising that h, me, and e will yield the right atomic size. Construct a quantity with the dimension of length from h, me, and e and confirm that its numerical value has indeed the correct order of magnitude.

Consider an excited hydrogen atom in state n moving with a velocity υ(ν<<c). It emits a photon in the direction of its motion and changes its state to a lower state m. Apply momentum and energy conservation principles to calculate the frequency ν of the emitted radiation. Compare this with the frequency ν0 emitted if the atom were at rest.
In the Auger process an atom makes a transition to a lower state without emitting a photon. The excess energy is transferred to an outer electron which may be ejected by the atom. (This is called an Auger electron).
