Question 29 IGCSE_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2020 • PHYSICS • objective

For a hydrogen‑like ion with atomic number \(Z = 3\) (the Li\(^{2+}\) ion), use the Bohr model to find the wavelength of the photon emitted when an electron makes a transition from the \(n = 5\) level to the \(n = 2\) level. Compare the calculated wavelength with an observed spectral line at \(102.6\,\text{nm}\) and state whether they match. (Take the Rydberg energy \(13.6\,\text{eV}\) and \(hc = 1240\,\text{eV·nm}\).)

Answer Options

A. λ ≈ 55.0 nm; does not match 102.6 nm
B. λ ≈ 30.1 nm; does not match 102.6 nm
C. λ ≈ 48.2 nm; matches 102.6 nm
Correct Answer D. λ ≈ 48.2 nm; does not match 102.6 nm
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
λ ≈ 48.2 nm; does not match 102.6 nm
