Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The transition energy for hydrogen atom is given by, \(\Delta E=-R\left[\frac{1}{n_2^2}-\frac{1}{n_1^2}\right]\) When \(R=13.6 \mathrm{eV}, n_1=1, n_2=\) ? Given, \(\Delta E=12.75 \mathrm{eV}\) \(12.75=-13.6\left[\frac{1}{n_2^2}-\frac{1}{1^2}\right]\)…
