An electron of an atom transits from \(n_{1}\) to \(n_{2}\). In which of the following maximum frequency of photon will be emitted?

  1. A \(n_{1}=1\) to \(n_{2}=2\)
  2. B \(n_{1}=2\) to \(n_{2}=1\)
  3. C \(n_{1}=2\) to \(n_{2}=6\)
  4. D \(n_{1}=6\) to \(n_{2}=2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(n_{1}=2\) to \(n_{2}=1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For emission of energy, electron of H-atom must fall from higher energy state to lower energy state. Hence, options (a) and (c) are not possible. In option (b), \(n_{1}=2, n_{2}=1\) \(\therefore\) Energy of emitted photon is given as…
