Which of the following transitions in a hydrogen atom emits photon of the highest frequency ?

A

`n = 1` to `n = 2`

B

`n = 2` to `n = 1`

C

`n = 2` to `n = 6`

D

`n = 6` to `n = 2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`:. E_(1) gt E_(2)`
`:. V_(1) gt v_(2)`
i.e., Photon of higher frequency will be emitted if transition takes place from `n = 2` to 1.
