Assertion: Hydrogen atom consists of only one electron but its emission spectrum has many lines. Reason : Only Lyman series is found in the absorption spectrum of hydrogen atom whereas in the emission spectrum, all the series are found.

Options

  1. AIf both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correctexplanation of the assertion.
  2. BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correctexplanation of the assertion.
  3. CIf assertion is truebutreason is false.
  4. DIf the assertion and reason both are false.

Correct answer

B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correctexplanation of the assertion.

Step-by-step solution

When the atom gets appropriate energy from outside, then this electron rises to some higher energy level. Now it can return either directly to the lower energy level or come to the lowest energy level after passing through other lower energy lends, hence all possible transitions take place in the source and many lines are seen in the spectrum.
