An electron in a hydrogen atom emits wavelengths during the transitions given below. Arrange these wavelengths in ascending order.
(A) from n = 3 to n = 2
(B) from n = 2 to n = 1
(C) from n = \( \infty \) to n = 1
(D) from n = \( \infty \) to n = 3
(E) from n = 4 to n = 1
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (C), (B), (E), (A), (D)
  2. B (C), (E), (B), (D), (A)
  3. C (C), (B), (A), (E), (D)
  4. D (C), (E), (B), (A), (D)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (C), (E), (B), (A), (D)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{1}{\lambda} \propto \Delta E \propto \left( \frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} \right) \) (A) \( \frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{3^2} = \frac{5}{36} \) (B) \( \frac{1}{1^2} - \frac{1}{2^2} = \frac{3}{4} \) (C) \( \frac{1}{1^2} - \frac{1}{\infty^2} = 1 \) (D)…
