Question 145: Atoms & Nuclei

Question

The energy levels of an hydrogen atom are shown below. The transition corresponding to emission of shortest wavelength is :

Accepted Answer

We know that, $E=\frac{h c}{\lambda}$
$$
	herefore \lambda \propto \frac{1}{E}
$$
For minimum wavelength, energy must be maximum which is possible from transition $n=3$ to $n=1$.
