AIPMT MAINS 2009 Physics Bohr Model MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
The ionization energy of the electron in the hydrogen atom in its ground state is 13.6 eV. The atoms are excited to higher energy levels to emit radiations of 6 wavelengths. Maximum wavelength of emitted radiation corresponds to the transition between:
A
n = 3 to n = 1 states
B
n = 2 to n = 1 states
C
n = 4 to n = 3 states
D
n = 3 to n = 2 states
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
The maximum wavelength corresponds to the smallest energy transition. The transition from n = 4 to n = 3 has the smallest energy difference among the given options.
