Question

According to Bohr theory, the electronic energy of hydrogen atom in the nth Bohr orbit is given by,
En=21.76×1019n2J
Calculate the longest wavelength of light that will be needed to remove an electron from the 2nd orbit of Li2+ ion.

Open in App
Solution

En=21.76×1019n2J
Energy at infinite distance =0.
Energy at infinite orbit =21.76×10194J=5.44×1019J
Energy difference=5.44×1019=hcλ
λ=6.64×1036×3×1085.44×1019=3.66×109m
