    Electrons in a certain energy level \[n={{n}_{1}}\], can emit 3 spectral lines. When they are in another energy level, \[n={{n}_{2}}\], they can emit 6 spectral lines. The orbital speed of the electrons in the orbits are in the ratio

    A)  \[4:3\]                                 

    B)  \[3:4\]

    C)  \[2:1\]                                 

    D)  \[1:2\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Number of emitted spectral lines                                 \[N=\frac{n\,(n-1)}{2}\] Ist case                                 \[N=3\] \[\therefore \]                  \[3=\frac{{{n}_{1}}\,({{n}_{1}}-1)}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[n_{1}^{2}-{{n}_{1}}-6=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[({{n}_{1}}-3)\,({{n}_{1}}+2)=0\]                                 \[{{n}_{1}}=3,\,\,{{n}_{1}}=-2\]  Negative value of \[{{n}_{1}}\] is not possible \[\therefore \]                  \[{{n}_{1}}=3\] 2nd case                                 \[N=6\] Again,                   \[6=\frac{{{n}_{2}}\,\,({{n}_{2}}-1)}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[n_{2}^{2}-{{n}_{2}}-12=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[({{n}_{2}}-40)\,\,({{n}_{2}}+3)=0\]                 \[{{n}_{2}}=4,\,{{n}_{2}}=-3\]     Again, as \[{{n}_{2}}\] is always positive \[\therefore \]  \[{{n}_{2}}=4\] Velocity of electron \[v=\frac{Z\,\,{{e}^{2}}}{2\,{{\varepsilon }_{0}}\,hn}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{2}}}=\frac{{{n}_{2}}}{{{n}_{1}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{2}}}=\frac{4}{3}\]
