A hydrogen atom in ground state is given an energy of 10.2 eV . How many spectral lines will be emitted due to transition of electrons?
- (A)6
- (B)3
- (C)10
- (D)1✓ Correct
Answer: (D)
Solution
Ground state energy of hydrogen is eV. Absorbing eV takes the electron to
which is the first excited state (). From the electron can only fall back to , giving exactly one spectral line.
which is the first excited state (). From the electron can only fall back to , giving exactly one spectral line.
