Question

Energy is absorbed in the hydrogen atom giving absorption spectra when transition takes place from

• A. $n = 1 \rightarrow n'\text{ where }n' > 1$
• B. $n = 2 \rightarrow 1$
• C. $n' \rightarrow n$
• D. $n \rightarrow n'\ = \infty$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$n = 1 \rightarrow n'\text{ where }n' > 1$

Answer 2

Absorption is from the ground state n = 1 to n’ where $n' > 1$
