Atomic Physics Question 9
Question 9 - 2024 (30 Jan Shift 1)
A electron of hydrogen atom on an excited state is having energy $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{n}}=-0.85 \mathrm{eV}$. The maximum number of allowed transitions to lower energy level is
Show Answer
Answer: (6)
Solution:
$E_{n}=-\frac{13.6}{n^{2}}=-0.85$
$\Rightarrow n=4$
No of transition
$=\frac{n(n-1)}{2}=\frac{4(4-1)}{2}=6$
