Atoms And Nuclei Question 8
Question: The energy levels of the hydrogen spectrum is . There are some transitions A, B, C, D and E. Transition A, B and C respectively represent [CPMT 1986, 88]
Options:
A) First member of Lyman series, third spectral line of Balmer series and the second spectral line of Paschen series
B) Ionization potential of hydrogen, second spectral line of Balmer series and third spectral line of Paschen series
C) Series limit of Lyman series, third spectral line of Balmer series and second spectral line of Paschen series
D) Series limit of Lyman series, second spectral line of Balmer series and third spectral line of Paschen series
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Transition A (n = ¥ to 1) : Series limit of Lyman series Transition B (n = 5 to n = 2) : Third spectral line of Balmer series Transition C (n = 5 to n = 3) : Second spectral line of Paschen series
