    An electron makes a transition from orbit n = 4 to the orbit n = 2 of a hydrogen atom. The wave number of the emitted radiations (R = Rydberg's constant) will be  [CBSE PMT 1995]

    A)            \[\frac{16}{3R}\]                 

    B)            \[\frac{2R}{16}\]

    C)            \[\frac{3R}{16}\]                 

    D)            \[\frac{4R}{16}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               Wave number \[\frac{1}{\lambda }=R\left[ \frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}} \right]=R\left[ \frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{16} \right]=\frac{3R}{16}\]
