In hydrogen atom, transition from the state \(n=6\) to \(n=1\) results in ultraviolet radiation. Infrared radiation will be obtained in the transition
- A \(\mathrm{n}=3\) to \(\mathrm{n}=1\)
- B \(\mathrm{n}=4\) to \(\mathrm{n}=2\)
- C \(\mathrm{n}=6\) to \(\mathrm{n}=2\)
- D \(\mathrm{n}=5\) to \(\mathrm{n}=3\)
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.
