The frequency of radiation emitted when the electron falls from n = 4 to n = 1 in a hydrogen atom will be
(Given ionization energy of H = 2.18 × 10−18 J atom−1 and h = 6.625 × 10−34 Js)
3.08 × 1015 s−1
From Bohr's postulates, we know
[Frequency of radiation] ν = 3.289 × 1015 × Z2 [1n21 − 1n22] Hz
Now, ν = 3.289 × 1015 × (1)2 [112 − 142]
⇒ ν = 3.289 × 1015 × [1 − 116]
⇒ ν = 3.289 × 1015 × 1516
⇒ ν = 3.0834 × 1015 Hz
