The electron of a hydrogen atom makes a transition from the (n+1)^ th orbit to the n^ th orbit. For large n the wavelength of the emitted radiation is proportional to
Options
- An
- Bn^3
- Cn^4
- Dn^2
Correct answer
B. n^3
Step-by-step solution
If n₁=n and n₂=n+1 Maximum wavelength _ = n^2 (n+1^2 ) (2 n+1 R) Therefore, for large n , _ n^3
