XX different wavelength may be observed in the spectrum from a hydrogen sample if the atoms are excited to states with principal quantum number n=6n = 6? The value of XX is

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Use the concept of hydrogen like atom spectrum when the atoms are excited to a sixth excited state, to find different wavelengths observed in the spectrum.

The total possible transitions are,

n(n−1)2=6×52=15\dfrac{n\left(n - 1\right)}{2} = \dfrac{6 \times 5}{2} = 15

Here nn is the principal quantum number.
