A hydrogen atom in ground state is given an energy of . How many spectral lines will be emitted due to transition of electrons?
- A3
- B6
- C10
- D1
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
-
Ground state energy of hydrogen
For hydrogen,
In the ground state, the electron is at with energy
-
Energy supplied to the atom
The atom is given .
The energy needed to excite the electron from to is
So the supplied energy excites the electron exactly from to .
-
Possible emission on de-excitation
Once the electron is in the state, it can return only to .
Thus only one transition is possible:
-
Number of spectral lines emitted
Since there is only one possible downward transition, the number of emitted spectral lines is
-
Option check
- A: ❌
- B: ❌
- C: ❌
- D: ✅
Therefore, the correct answer is D.
