Marks: +1, -0
What transition in the hydrogen spectrum would have the same wavelength as the Balmer transition n = 4 to n = 2 of He+\mathrm{He}^{+} spectrum?
Solution:  
1λ\frac{1}{\lambda} = v−\overset{-}{v} = 1.097 × 107Z2[1n12−1n22]m−110^{7} Z^{2} \left[ \frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}} - \frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}} \right] \mathrm{m}^{-1}
where, n1n_{1} = number of the lower energy level, n2n_{2} = number of the higher energy level, Z = atomic number, λ = wavelength, v−\overset{-}{v} = wavenumber
For He+\mathrm{He}^{+}, 1λ\frac{1}{\lambda} = 1.097 × 10710^{7} × (2)2[1(2)2−1(4)2]m−1(2)^{2} \left[ \frac{1}{(2)^{2}} - \frac{1}{(4)^{2}} \right] \mathrm{m}^{-1}
= 1.097 × 107×4(316)10^{7} \times 4 \left( \frac{3}{16} \right) = 1.097 × 107×3410^{7} \times \frac{3}{4}
For H atom, 1λ\frac{1}{\lambda} = 1.097 × 107×(1)2×3410^{7} \times (1)^{2} \times \frac{3}{4} = 1.097 × 107[1nL2−1nH2]10^{7} \left[ \frac{1}{n_{L}^{2}} - \frac{1}{n_{H}^{2}} \right]
[1nL2−1nH2]\left[ \frac{1}{n_{L}^{2}} - \frac{1}{n_{H}^{2}} \right] = 34\frac{3}{4}. Thig gives nLn_{L} = 1 , nHn_{H} = 2
The transition nLn_{L} = 1 to nHn_{H} = 2 in H-atom would have the same wavelength as Balmer transition n = 4 to n = 2 of He+\mathrm{He}^{+}.
