What determines the number of spectral lines in the hydrogen atom's spectra when considering a large number of hydrogen atoms?
Options
- AThe wavelength of the photons.
- BThe frequency of the photons.
- CThe number of possible transitions in hydrogen atoms.
- DThe brightness or intensity of the spectral lines.
Correct answer
C. The number of possible transitions in hydrogen atoms.
Step-by-step solution
in the case of a large number of hydrogen atoms, different possible transitions can be observed, leading to a large number of spectral lines.
