Question
The transition from the state n = 4 to n = 3 in a hydrogen-like atom results in ultraviolet radiation. Infrared radiation will be obtained in the transition from
-
2 → 1
-
3 → 2
-
4 → 2
-
5→ 4
Solution
D.
5→ 4
IR corresponds to least value of i.e. from Paschen, Bracket and Pfund series. Thus the transition corresponds to 5 → 4
