Which of the following transitions in hydrogen atoms emit photons of highest frequency?

A

n = 1 to n = 2

B

n = 2 to n = 6

C

11 = 6 to n = 2

D

n=2 to n=1

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Transition n = 2 to n=1 in hydrogen atom emits a photon of highest frequency because energy involved in this transition is maximum (10.2 eV).
