In hydrogen atom, transition from the state \(n=6\) to \(n=1\) results in ultraviolet radiation. Infrared radiation will be obtained in the transition

  1. A \(\mathrm{n}=3\) to \(\mathrm{n}=1\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{n}=4\) to \(\mathrm{n}=2\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{n}=6\) to \(\mathrm{n}=2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{n}=5\) to \(\mathrm{n}=3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{n}=5\) to \(\mathrm{n}=3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Infrared radiation corresponds to transitions to \(n=3\) (Paschen series), \(n=4\) (Brackett series), or \(n=5\) (Pfund series). Transition from \(n=5\) to \(n=3\) is part of the Paschen series.
