Correct answer: D

  1. Ground state energy of hydrogen

    For hydrogen, En=−13.6n2 eVE_n = -\frac{13.6}{n^2}\,\text{eV}En​=−n213.6​eV

    In the ground state, the electron is at n=1n=1n=1 with energy E1=−13.6 eV.E_1 = -13.6\,\text{eV}.E1​=−13.6eV.

  2. Energy supplied to the atom

    The atom is given 10.2 eV10.2\,\text{eV}10.2eV.

    The energy needed to excite the electron from n=1n=1n=1 to n=2n=2n=2 is ΔE1→2=E2−E1=(−13.64)−(−13.6)\Delta E_{1\to 2} = E_2 - E_1 = \left(-\frac{13.6}{4}\right)-(-13.6)ΔE1→2​=E2​−E1​=(−413.6​)−(−13.6) =−3.4+13.6=10.2 eV.= -3.4 + 13.6 = 10.2\,\text{eV}.=−3.4+13.6=10.2eV.

    So the supplied energy excites the electron exactly from n=1n=1n=1 to n=2n=2n=2.

  3. Possible emission on de-excitation

    Once the electron is in the n=2n=2n=2 state, it can return only to n=1n=1n=1.

    Thus only one transition is possible: 2→12 \to 12→1

  4. Number of spectral lines emitted

    Since there is only one possible downward transition, the number of emitted spectral lines is 1.1.1.

  5. Option check

    • A: 333 ❌
    • B: 666 ❌
    • C: 101010 ❌
    • D: 111 ✅

Therefore, the correct answer is D.
