Hello Student,
Please find the answer to your question
(a) If x is the difference in quantum number of the states than x+1C2 = 6 ⇒ x = 3
Now, we have –z2 (13.6eV) / n2 = - 0.85eV …(i)
And –z2 (13.6 eV) / (n + 3)2 = - 0.544 eV …(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii) we get n = 12 and z = 3
(b) Smallest wavelength λ is given by
hc / λ = (0.85 – 0.544) eV
Solving, we get λ = 4052 nm.
Thanks
