Which of the following transition in a hydrogen atom produces a photon of minimum energy?

A

`n=1` to `n=0`

B

`n=5` to `n=6`

C

`n=6` to `n=8`

D

`n=4` to `n=3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Higher the value of the lower quantum number to which electron is jumping, longer will be wavelength i.e. minimum energy. Therefore `n=6` to `n=8` transition produces minimum energy.
