atoms Question 10

Question: Q. 2. What is the maximum number of spectral lines emitted by a hydrogen atom when it is in the third excited state? [O.D. Comptt. I, II, III 2013]

Show Answer

Solution:

Ans. If n is the quantum number of highest energy level, then the total number of possible spectral lines emitted is

N=n(n1)2

Here, third excited state means fourth energy level, i.e., n=4

(1)N=4(41)2=6
