An electron in the hydrogen atom absorbs...

An electron in the hydrogen atom absorbs energy and jumps to the 4th orbit. It jumps back to the ground state in steps e.g., from 4th to 3rd orbit, then from 3rd to 2nd orbit and finally to the ground state etc.
Total number of lines obtained in the spectrum would be

A

3

B

6

C

9

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Total no. of lines produced when the electron returns to the ground state
`Sigma (n_(2) - n_(1)) = Sigma (4 -1) = Sigma 3 = 3 + 2 + 1 = 6`
