    Which transition emits light of lower frequency ?

    A)  \[{{\text{n}}_{\text{1}}}=\text{ 6 to }{{\text{n}}_{2}}=\text{2}\]              

    B)  \[{{\text{n}}_{1}}=\text{6 to }{{\text{n}}_{2}}=1\]

    C)  \[{{\text{n}}_{\text{1}}}=\text{2 to }{{\text{n}}_{2}}=\text{6}\]               

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

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     From Bohrs concept, the wavelength \[(\lambda )\] of emitted light is given by                 \[\frac{1}{\lambda }=R\left( \frac{1}{{{n}_{1}}^{2}}-\frac{1}{{{n}_{2}}^{2}} \right)\] For         \[{{n}_{1}}=1,\,\,\,{{n}_{2}}=2\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{1}{{{\lambda }_{1}}}=R\left( \frac{1}{{{1}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{2}^{2}}} \right)\]                 \[=R\left( \frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{4} \right)=0.75\,R\] For         \[{{n}_{1}}=2,\,\,\,{{n}_{2}}=6\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{1}{{{\lambda }_{2}}}=R\left( \frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{36} \right)=0.22R\] Also frequency \[(v)\propto \frac{1}{\lambda }\]. and                        E = h v Hence, for minimum E, \[{{n}_{2}}=6\] and \[{{n}_{1}}=2\].
