As the number of orbit increase from the nucleus, the difference between the adjacent energy levels :

A

increases

B

remains constant

C

decreases

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
We know that the energy levels of an electron around the nucleus is represented by
`E_(n) =(me^(4)Z^(2))/(8n^(2)h^(2)in_(0)^(2))`
So now, `DeltaE_(n,n-1)= -(me^(4)Z^(2))/(8h^(2)in_(0)^(2)) xx [(2n-1)/((n^(2)-n)^(2))]`
which is negative, So energy difference decreases.
