An electron in nth excited state in a hydrogen atom comes down to first excited state by emitting ten different wavelength. Find value of `n` (an integer).

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When the lectron jumps from the `n^(th)` state to the ground state , kthe number of possible emission lines is `n(n-1)/2`. Here , the number of possible emission lines is `((n-1)(n-2))/2`
