    The ionization energy of the electron in the hydrogen atom in its ground state is 13.6 eV atoms are excited to higher energy levels to emit radiations of 6 wavelengths. Maximum wavelength of emitted radiation corresponds to the transition between

    A) n = 3 to n = 2 states

    B) n = 3 to n = 1 states

    C) n = 2 to n = 1 states

    D) n =4 to n = 3. states             

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea Number of spectral lines obtained due to transition of electron from \[-3\hat{i}-2\hat{j}+\hat{k},\]orbit to lower orbit \[-2\hat{i}+2\hat{k}\] and for maximum wavelength the difference between the orbits of the series should be minimum. Number of spectral lines \[-2\hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}\] \[2\hat{i}-\hat{j}-2\hat{k}\]\[\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{3}}\]or\[m{{v}^{3}}\] or\[\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\]or\[\frac{1}{2}{{m}^{2}}{{v}^{2}}\] Now as the first line of the series has the maximum wavelength, therefore electron jumps from the 4th orbit to the third orbit.
