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