In a Hydrogen atom there is transition of electron from one orbit to another. Choose the correct option given below in which the emitted photon will have the highest frequency?

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(n=2\) to \(n=1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Highest frequency for largest \(\left( \frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} \right)\). For \(n=2\) to \(n=1\): \(\left( \frac{1}{1^2} - \frac{1}{2^2} \right) = 1 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}\) This corresponds to the highest frequency. Answer: \(n=2\) to \(n=1\)
