Highly selective Backlog Qs for JEE MainChemistryStructure of Atom
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.
