Correct answer: 492
-
Use the Rydberg formula for the Paschen series
For hydrogen, In the Paschen series, the final level is
-
First line of Paschen series
The first line corresponds to transition:
So,
=R\left(\frac{1}{9}-\frac{1}{16}\right)$$ Given: $$\lambda_1=720\text{ nm}$$ -
Second line of Paschen series
The second line corresponds to transition:
So,
-
Take ratio to eliminate
\frac{\left(\frac{1}{9}-\frac{1}{25}\right)}{\left(\frac{1}{9}-\frac{1}{16}\right)}$$ Compute both terms: $$\frac{1}{9}-\frac{1}{25}=\frac{25-9}{225}=\frac{16}{225}$$ $$\frac{1}{9}-\frac{1}{16}=\frac{16-9}{144}=\frac{7}{144}$$ Hence, $$\frac{1/\lambda_2}{1/\lambda_1}=\frac{16/225}{7/144} =\frac{16}{225}\cdot\frac{144}{7}$$ $$=\frac{16\cdot 144}{225\cdot 7}$$ Therefore, $$\lambda_2=\lambda_1\cdot\frac{\left(\frac{1}{9}-\frac{1}{16}\right)}{\left(\frac{1}{9}-\frac{1}{25}\right)}$$ $$\lambda_2=720\cdot\frac{7/144}{16/225}$$ $$=720\cdot\frac{7}{144}\cdot\frac{225}{16}$$ -
Simplify
So,
-
Nearest integer
Final Answer: nm
