Which energy level transition among the following will have the least wavelength?

  1. A \(n_4 \longrightarrow n_3\)
  2. B \(n_4 \longrightarrow n_2\)
  3. C \(n_4 \longrightarrow n_1\)
  4. D \(n_2 \longrightarrow n_1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(n_4 \longrightarrow n_1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to energy, \(E=\frac{h}{m v}\) or \(E=\frac{h c}{\lambda}\) i.e \(E \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}\) Here, energy of electrons is inversely proportional to wavelength i.e. greater the difference between the transition, lesser will be the wavelength.…
