JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 2. structure of atom

Number of spectral lines obtained in \(\mathrm{He}^{+}\)spectra, when an electron makes transition from fifth excited state to first excited state will be _______.

  1. A \(11\)
  2. B \(10\)
  3. C \(12\)
  4. D \(13\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(10\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(5^{\text {th }} \text { excited state } \Rightarrow n_1=6\) \(1^{\text {st }} \text { excited state } \Rightarrow n_2=2\) \(\Delta n=n_1-n_2=6-2=4\) Maximum number of spectral lines \(=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{n}(\Delta \mathrm{n}+1)}{2}=\frac{4(4+1)}{2}=10\)
