The figure shows an energy level diagram for the hydrogen atom. Several transitions are marked as I, II, III,_____. The diagram is only indicative and not be scale.

In which transitions is a Balmer photn absorbed?

A

II

B

III

C

IV

D

VI

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
For Balmer series, `n_(1)=2` (lower), `n_(2)=3, 4` (higher)
`:.` In transition `(VI)`, Photon of Balmer series is absorbed.
