Why is the transition from n=3 to n=1 gives a spectral triplet

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why the transition from \( n=3 \) to \( n=1 \) gives a spectral triplet, we need to analyze the transitions that can occur between these energy levels in an atom, particularly in a hydrogen-like atom. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Energy Levels**: - In an atom, electrons occupy specific energy levels denoted by quantum numbers \( n \). For hydrogen, these levels are \( n=1 \), \( n=2 \), \( n=3 \), and so on. - The energy levels are quantized, meaning electrons can only exist in these discrete levels. ...
