Structure Of Atom Question 11
Question 11 - 2024 (30 Jan Shift 2)
Number of spectral lines obtained in $He^{+}$spectra, when an electron makes transition from fifth excited state to first excited state will be
Show Answer
Answer (10)
Solution
$5^{\text {th }}$ excited state $\Rightarrow n _1=6$
$1^{\text {st }}$ excited state $\Rightarrow n _2=2$
$\Delta n=n _1-n _2=6-2=4$
Maximum number of spectral lines
$=\frac{\Delta n(\Delta n+1)}{2}=\frac{4(4+1)}{2}=10$
