In a hydrogen like atom electron makes transition from an energy level with quantum number n to another with quantum number (n-1) . If n>>1 , the frequency of radiation emitted is proportional to

Quantrex Academy · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. (1)/(n^3)

In a hydrogen like atom, when an electron makes an transition from an energy level with n to n-1 , the frequency of emitted radiation is v=R c Z^2[(1)/((n-1)^2)-(1)/(n^2)]=(R c Z^2(2 n-1))/(n^2(n-1)^2) As n>>1 v=(R c Z^2 2 n)/(n^4)=(2 R c Z^2)/(n^3) or v (1)/(n^3)
