According to the Bohr theory, which of the following transitions in the hydrogen atom will give rise to the least energetic photon?
Options
- An=6 to n=1
- Bn=5 to n=4
- Cn=6 to n=5
- Dn=5 to n=3
Correct answer
C. n=6 to n=5
Step-by-step solution
E [ 1 n₁^2 - 1 n₂^2 ] , where n₂>n₁ Energy of photon obtained from the transition n=6 to n=5 will have least energy.
