Correct answer: C
- For a hydrogen-like species, the radius of the orbit is
where is the Bohr radius and is the atomic number.
- The difference between the radii of 4th and 3rd orbits is
So, for any hydrogen-like ion,
- For , we have .
Hence,
- For , we have .
Hence,
- Therefore,
- So the correct option is:
- Comparison with stored correct answer:
Stored correct answer = C, which matches our derived answer.
