27) Explanation Question: Find total unique spectral lines.

Concept: This question is based on atomic spectra & Rydberg formula.
Solution:
When an electron de-excites from the 4th state (n2 = 4) to the ground state (n1 = 1), the
maximum number of spectral lines for a single species is calculated as

. Since we have a mixture of H-atoms (Z = 1) and

+
He ions (Z = 2), we would expect a total of 6 + 6 = 12 lines if they were all unique. However,
we must check for overlapping lines where the wavelength (l) is the same for a transition in H

and a different transition in He–. Using the Rydberg formula, , we check for
an equality.

The transition for H from n = 2 to n = 1 gives 12 .

The transition for He+ from n = 4 to n = 2 gives 22

Since these values are equal, one line is common to both spectra. Therefore, the maximum
number of different spectral lines is 6 + 6 – 1 = 11
Final answer : The maximum number of different spectral lines is 11.
