The transition from the state n=4 to n=3 in a hydrogen like atom results in ultraviolet radiation. Infrared radiation will be obtained in the transition from
Options
- A2 1
- B3 2
- C4 2
- D5 4
Correct answer
D. 5 4
Step-by-step solution
IR corresponds to least value of ( 1 n₁^2 - 1 n₂^2 ) i.e. from Paschen, Bracket and Pfund series. Thus the transition corresponds to 5 3 .
