How many emission spectral lines are possible when hydrogen atom is excited to \(n\)th energy level?

  1. A \(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{(n+1)}{2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{(n-1) n}{2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{n^2}{4}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{(n-1) n}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Number of spectral lines \(=\frac{n(n-1)}{2}\) \(n\) is the orbital in which the electron exist.
