    In a hydrogen like atom electron makes transition from an energy level with quantum number n to another with quantum number \[(n-1)\]. For \[~n>>1\], the frequency of radiation emitted is :

    A) \[f\propto \frac{1}{n}\]

    B) \[f\propto \frac{1}{{{n}^{2}}}\]

    C) \[f\propto \frac{1}{{{n}^{3}}}\]

    D) \[f\propto \frac{1}{{{n}^{3/2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[hf=Rhc\left[ \frac{1}{{{(n-1)}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{n}^{2}}} \right]\]
    Or \[f=Rc\left[ \frac{{{n}^{2}}-{{\left( n-1 \right)}^{2}}}{{{\left( n-1 \right)}^{2}}{{n}^{2}}} \right]=RC\frac{\left( 2n-1 \right)}{{{\left( n-1 \right)}^{2}}{{n}^{2}}}\]
    For \[n>>1,\,2n-1\simeq n.\]and \[n-1\simeq n.\]
    \[f\propto \frac{1}{{{n}^{3}}}\]
