The energy levels of an hydrogen atom are shown below. The transition corresponding to emission of shortest wavelength is

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(D\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\Delta E =\frac{ hc }{\lambda} \Rightarrow \lambda \alpha \frac{1}{\Delta E }\)
For shortest wavelength, energy gap should be maximum.
So, correct choice is transition from \(n =3\) to \(n =1\).
