    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 \[N=\frac{n(n-1)}{2}\] 1st 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, \[6=\frac{{{n}_{2}}({{n}_{2}}-1)}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[n_{2}^{2}-{{n}_{2}}-12=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[({{n}_{2}}-4)({{n}_{2}}+3)=0\] \[{{n}_{2}}=4,{{n}_{2}}=-3\] Again, as \[{{n}_{2}}\]is always positive \[\therefore \] \[{{n}_{2}}=4\] Velocity of electron \[v=\frac{Z{{e}^{2}}}{2{{\varepsilon }_{0}}hn}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{2}}}=\frac{{{n}_{2}}}{{{n}_{1}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{2}}}=\frac{4}{3}\]
