Maximum frequency of emission is obtained for the transition

A

n = 2 to n = 1

B

n = 6 to n = 2

C

n = 1 to n = 2

D

n = 2 to n = 6

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The energy difference `E_(2) - E_(1)` is maximum, so photon of maximum frequency is emitted in transition n = 2 to n = 1.
