When the electron orbittingin the hydrogen atom in its ground state moves to the third exciting state show how the debroglie wavelength assosciated with it changes.

The energy of nth state of hydrogen atom is given by,               En = -13.6n2eVSo energy od ground state    E1 = -13.612eV=-13.6eVand energy of third state      E3 = -13.632eV = -1.51eVChange in energy E=  E3-E1 =-1.51+13.6 eV=12.09eV=12.09×1.6×10-19JTherefore change in wavelength λ = hcE=6.63×10-34×3×10812.09×1.6×10-19=1037.5A°.
