JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 12. atoms

A electron of hydrogen atom on an excited state is having energy \(E_n=-0.85 \mathrm{eV}\). The maximum number of allowed transitions to lower energy level is _______.

  1. A \(5\)
  2. B \(7\)
  3. C \(6\)
  4. D \(12\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( E_n=-\frac{13.6}{n^2}=-0.85 \) \( \Rightarrow n=4\) No of transition \(=\frac{n(n-1)}{2}=\frac{4(4-1)}{2}=6\)
