    If the photon of energy 12.1 eV is incident on hydrogen gas, the gas will emit per second

    A)  few lines in Balmer and Lymen series

    B)  all the lines in Balmer series

    C)  few lines in Balmer series

    D)  Balmer series only

    E)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    We known that as the photon is to be observed completely. So, electron energy after collision will be \[-13.6\,\,eV+12.1\,\,eV=1.5\,\,eV\] This means electron can go to third orbit only. Therefore, transitions \[3\to 2,\]\[2\to 1\]and \[3\to 1\] are possible. So, few spectral lines in Balmer and Lyman series are possible.
