To solve the problem of how many photons can be emitted when an electron in a hydrogen atom transitions from the n=4 energy level to the n=1 energy level, we need to determine both the maximum and minimum number of photons emitted during this transition.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Understanding the Energy Levels**:
- In a hydrogen atom, electrons occupy quantized energy levels denoted by n (principal quantum number). The levels are n=1, n=2, n=3, n=4, etc.
2. **Identifying the Transition**:

An electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from n = 5 energy level to n = 1 energy level. What are the maximum number of photons that can be emitted ?
Assertion: The electron in the hydrogen atom passes from energy level n = 4 to the n = 1 level. The maximum and minimum number of photon that can be emitted are six and one respectively. Reason: The photons are emitted when electron make a transtition from the higher energy state to the lower energy state.
Assertion : An electron in hydrogen in hydrogen atom passes from n=4 to n=1 level . The mximum number of photons that can be emitted is 6. Reasoning : maximum nymber of photons omitted can only be 4 .
