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

A

`a = 2` to `n = 6`

B

`n = 6` to ` n = 2`

C

`n = 1` to `n = 1`

D

`n = 1` to `n = 2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`:' Delta E = hv :. V prop [1/(n_(1)^(2)) - (1)/(n_(2)^(2))]`
`:. v_(max)` for `n_(2) = 2` to `n_(1) = 1`
