Question: Answered & Verified by Expert
Imagine an atom made of a nucleus of charge Ze and a hypothetical particle of the same mass but double the charge of the electron. Apply the Bohr atom model and consider all possible transitions of this hypothetical particle to the ground state. The longest wavelength of a photon that will be emitted has wavelength λ (Given in terms of Rydberg constant RH of the hydrogen atom) equal to

The correct answer is: 13Z2RH
Longest wavelength n=2 to n=1

mv2r=k.Ze(2e)r2

mvr=nh2π

Kinetic energy, potential energy and total energy becomes four times

    ΔE becomes four times

    ΔE=4Z2RHch112-122 (c is the speed of light)

ΔE=3RHchZ2

hcλ=3RHchZ2

λ=13Z2RH
