Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 29. (a)

Solution:

  1. (a) Energy of ground state 13.6eV

Energy of first excited state

=13.64=3.4eV

Energy of second excited state

=13.69=1.5eV

Difference between ground state and 2nd excited state =13.61.5=12.1eV

So, electron can be excited upto 3rd orbit

No. of possible transition

12,13,23

So, three lines are possible.
