Q69.The wavelengths involved in the spectrum of deuterium (21D) are slightly different from that of hydrogen spectrum, because (1) the size of the two nuclei are different (2) the nuclear forces are different in the two cases (3) the masses of the two nuclei are different (4) the attraction between the electron and the nucleus is different in the two cases
What This Question Tests
This question explores the subtle reason for spectral differences between hydrogen and deuterium, attributed to the change in nuclear mass affecting the reduced mass and Rydberg constant.
