    In hydrogen atom, which one of the following transitions is most energetic?

    A)  \[{{n}_{1}}=2\to {{n}_{2}}=1\]

    B)  \[{{n}_{1}}=3\to {{n}_{2}}=1\]

    C)  \[{{n}_{1}}=10\to {{n}_{2}}=2\]

    D)  \[{{n}_{1}}=100\to {{n}_{2}}=3\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[{{E}_{1}}=-13.6\,eV,\,\,{{E}_{2}}=-3.4\,eV,\,\,{{E}_{3}}=-1.51\,eV,\] \[{{E}_{10}}=-0.136\,eV,\,\,{{E}_{100}}=-0.0013\,eV\] \[{{E}_{21}}=-13.6-(-3.4)=-10.2eV\] \[{{E}_{31}}=-13.6-(-1.51)=-12.09\,eV\] \[{{E}_{10.2}}=-3.4-(-0.136)=-3.264\,\,eV\] \[{{E}_{100,2}}=-1.51-(-0.0013)=-1.508\,\,eV\] Hence, \[{{E}_{31}}\] is the most energetic transition.
