Atoms And Nuclei Question 34
Question: The energy level diagram of an atom and the origin of six spectral lines in emission (e.g. line no. 5 arises from the transition from level B to A). The following spectral lines will also occur in the absorption spectrum [CBSE PMT 1995]
Options:
A) 1, 4, 6
B) 4, 5, 6
C) 1, 2, 3
D) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
The absorption lines are obtained when the electron jumps from ground state (n = 1) to the higher energy states. Thus only 1, 2 and 3 lines will be obtained.
