Question

In a hydrogen like atom electron make transition from an energy level with quantum number `n` to another with quantum number `(n - 1)` if `n gtgt1` , the frequency of radiation emitted is proportional to :
A. `(1)/(n)`
B. `(1)/(n^(2))`
C. `(1)/(n^(3)//2)`
D. `(1)/(n^(3))`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - D
`DeltaE=hv`
`v=(DeltaE)/(h)=k[(1)/((n-1)^(2))-(1)/(n^(2))]=(2Kn)/(n^(2)(n-1)^(2))~~(2K)/(n^(3))prop(1)/(n^(3))`
