Solution
(a) Bohr's quantisation condition: According to Bohr, an electron can revolve only in certain discrete, non-radiating orbits for which total angular momentum of the revolving electron is an integral multiple of `h/(2pi)`where h is the Planck's constant.
`:.mvr=(nh)/(2pi)`
(b) Using the Rydberg formula of the spectra of hydrogen atom, we write
`1/lamda_1=R(1/n_(2^2)-1/n_(3^2)) ......(1)`
`1/lamda_2=R(1/n_(1^2)-1/n_(2^2)) ......(2)`
`1/lamda_3=R(1/n_(1^2)-1/n_(3^2)) ......(3)`
Adding (1) and (2), we find that
`1/lambda_1+1/(lambda_2)=R(1/n_(1^2)-1/n_(3^2))=1/lambda_3`
This is the required relation between the three wavelengths.
