Question
In a hydrogen like atom, electron makes the transition from an energy level with quantum number n to another with a quantum number (n – 1). If n >> 1, the frequency of radiation emitted is proportional to
-
1/n
-
1/n2
-
1/n3/2
-
1/n3
Solution
D.
1/n3
An energy gap, ΔE = hv
Here, h is Planck's constant
therefore,
Frequency
