Correct answer: C

  1. We evaluate each statement one by one.

  2. Option A: Photon has momentum as well as wavelength.

    • For a photon, p=hλp = \frac{h}{\lambda}p=λh​
    • So a photon has both momentum and wavelength.
    • Option A is true.
  3. Option B: Splitting of spectral lines in electrical field is called Stark effect.

    • Splitting in an electric field is indeed called the Stark effect.
    • (For comparison, splitting in a magnetic field is the Zeeman effect.)
    • Option B is true.
  4. Option C: Rydberg constant has unit of energy.

    • The Rydberg constant RRR appears in νˉ=R(1n12−1n22)\bar{\nu} = R\left(\frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2}\right)νˉ=R(n12​1​−n22​1​)
    • Here νˉ\bar{\nu}νˉ is wave number, whose unit is length−1\text{length}^{-1}length−1, usually m−1\text{m}^{-1}m−1.
    • Therefore, the unit of the Rydberg constant is also m−1\text{m}^{-1}m−1, not energy.
    • Option C is false.
  5. Option D: Frequency of emitted radiation from a black body goes from a lower wavelength to higher wavelength as the temperature increases.

    • By Wien’s displacement law, λmax⁡T=constant\lambda_{\max} T = \text{constant}λmax​T=constant
    • As temperature increases, λmax⁡\lambda_{\max}λmax​ decreases.
    • That means the peak shifts from higher wavelength to lower wavelength, and hence frequency increases.
    • So the wording in D is incorrect if interpreted literally.
    • Option D is also false.
  6. Since this is a single correct MCQ, we should identify the best false statement expected in atomic structure context.

    • Option C is unambiguously false because the Rydberg constant definitely does not have units of energy.
    • Option D seems to contain a phrasing issue mixing frequency and wavelength, but many exam keys may target Wien’s law. Still, as written, C is certainly false.
  7. Derived answer: C\boxed{\text{C}}C​
