Q28.Hydrogen (1H1), Deuterium (1H2), singly ionised Helium (2He4)+ and doubly ionised lithium (3Li6)++ all have one electron around the nucleus. Consider an electron transition from n = 2 to n = 1. If the wave lengths of emitted radiation are λ1, λ2, λ3 and λ4 respectively then approximately which one of the following is correct ? (1) 4λ1 = 2λ2 = 2λ3 = λ4 (2) λ1 = 2λ2 = 2λ3 = λ4 (3) λ1 = λ2 = 4λ3 = 9λ4 (4) λ1 = 2λ2 = 3λ3 = 4λ4 JEE Main 2014 (06 Apr) JEE Main Previous Year Paper
