Question: The electron in a hydrogen atom makes a transition from n = n<sub>1</sub> to n = n<sub>2</sub> state...

The electron in a hydrogen atom makes a transition from n = n1 to n = n2 state. The time period of the electron in the initial state (n1) is eight times that in final state (n2). The possible values of n1 and n2 are-

A

n1 = 8, n2 = 1

B

n1 = 4, n2 = 2

C

n1 = 2, n2 = 4

D

n1 = 1, n2 = 8

Answer

n1 = 4, n2 = 2

Explanation

Solution

T1 = 8T2 (T µ n3) Ž n1 = 2n2 Ž n1 : n2 = 2 : 1
