Question

explain the terms in Rydberg equation

Answer 1

Hello.. ☺

1/λ = RZ2(1/n12 - 1/n22)

• λ =wavelength of the photon (wavenumber = 1/wavelength)

• R = Rydberg's constant (1.097x 107 m-1)

• Z = atomic number of the atom

thank you ☺

Answer 2

We have to explain the terms in Rydberg equation.

Concepts :

• We know, When an electron jumps from one atomic orbital to another, electron of electron will change and that change in energy cause the emission of light ( or photons).
• Wavelength of emitted light can be found with the help of Rydberg's equation.

Rydberg's equation is given by,

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=RZ^2\left(\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2}\right)$

Here,

• λ is wavelength of emitted light due to change energy of electron
• R is Rydberg's constant
• Z atomic number
• n₁ and n₂ are position of electrons in orbit of an atom during transition.

There are many types of spectral lines which emits during transitions of electrons from one orbit to another.

1. Lyman series : when electrons transits from n₁ = 1 to n₂ = 2 , 3, 4,..∞
2. Balmer series : when electron transits from n₁ = 2 to n₂ = 3 , 4 , 5, ...∞
3. Paschen series : when electron transits from  n₁ = 3 to n₂ =  4 , 5, 6...∞  and so on
