Atoms And Nuclei Question 43
Question: Which of the following transitions in a hydrogen atom emits photon of the highest frequency [MP PET 1996; DPMT 2001]
Options:
A) n = 1 to n = 2
B) n = 2 to n = 1
C) n = 2 to n = 6
D) n = 6 to n = 2
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
$ \because E_{1}>E_{2} $
$ \therefore {\nu_{1}}>{\nu_{2}} $ i.e. photons of higher frequency will be emitted if transition takes place from n = 2 to 1.
