Assertion: Hydrogen atom consists of anly one electron but its emission spectrum has may lines.
Reason: Only Lyman series is found in the absorption spectrum of hydrogen atom whereas in the emission spectrum, all the series are found.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

When the atom gets appropriate energy from outside, then this electron rises to some higher energy level. Now it can return either directly to the lower energy level or come to the lowest energy level after passing through other lower enegry lends, hence all possible transitions take place in the source and many lines are seen in the spectrum.
Kinetic energy `=` change `xx` accelerating voltage.
