Whenever a hydrogen atom emitsa photon in the Balmer series .

A

It may emit another photon in the Balmer series

B

It must emit another photon in the Lyman series

C

the second photon, emitted will have a wavelength of about 122nm

D

It may emit a second photon, but the wavelength of this photon cannot be predicted

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D
Any transition causing a photon to be emitted in the Balmer series must end at n=2. This must be followed by the transition from n = 2 to n =1, emitting a photon of energy 10.2 eV, which corresponds to a wavelength of about 122 nm. This belongs to the Lyman series
