The wavelength will be minimum in the transitions of electrons from:

  1. A \( n = 4 \text{ to } n = 3 \)
  2. B \( n = 3 \text{ to } n = 2 \)
  3. C \( n = 2 \text{ to } n = 1 \)
  4. D \( n = 5 \text{ to } n = 4 \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( n = 2 \text{ to } n = 1 \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For minimum wavelength, \( \Delta E \) must be maximum. \( \Delta E \propto \left( \frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} \right) \) \( n = 4 \text{ to } n = 3: \left( \frac{1}{3^2} - \frac{1}{4^2} \right) = \frac{1}{9} - \frac{1}{16} = \frac{7}{144} \)…
