  1. A
    325 nm
  2. B
    743 nm
  3. C
    518 nm
  4. D

Correct answer: B

  1. Use conservation of energy

When one photon of wavelength 355 nm355\,\text{nm}355nm is absorbed, its energy is

Eabs=hc355E_{\text{abs}}=\frac{hc}{355}Eabs​=355hc​

If the gas emits two photons, one at 680 nm680\,\text{nm}680nm and the other at λ\lambdaλ, then

Eabs=E1+E2E_{\text{abs}}=E_1+E_2Eabs​=E1​+E2​

So,

hc355=hc680+hcλ\frac{hc}{355}=\frac{hc}{680}+\frac{hc}{\lambda}355hc​=680hc​+λhc​

Cancel hchchc:

1355=1680+1λ\frac{1}{355}=\frac{1}{680}+\frac{1}{\lambda}3551​=6801​+λ1​

  1. Solve for λ\lambdaλ

1λ=1355−1680\frac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{1}{355}-\frac{1}{680}λ1​=3551​−6801​

Take LCM in compact form:

1λ=680−355355×680\frac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{680-355}{355\times 680}λ1​=355×680680−355​

1λ=325241400\frac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{325}{241400}λ1​=241400325​

Hence,

λ=241400325\lambda=\frac{241400}{325}λ=325241400​

λ≈742.8 nm\lambda\approx 742.8\,\text{nm}λ≈742.8nm

So the other emission wavelength is approximately

743 nm\boxed{743\,\text{nm}}743nm​

  1. Match with options
  • A: 325 nm325\,\text{nm}325nm
  • B: 743 nm743\,\text{nm}743nm
  • C: 518 nm518\,\text{nm}518nm
  • D: 1035 nm1035\,\text{nm}1035nm

Therefore, the correct option is:

B\boxed{\text{B}}B​
