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 :
Options
- A1 n 3 / 2
- B1 n 3
- C1 n
- D1 n 2
Correct answer
B. 1 n 3
Step-by-step solution
Δ E = h ν ν = Δ E h = k 1 n - 1 2 - 1 n 2 = k 2 n n 2 n - 1 2 ≈ 2 k n 3 ∝ 1 n 3
