Physics Question on Atoms

Which of the following transitions in hydrogen atoms emit photons of highest frequency?

A

n=2n = 2 to n=6n = 6

B

n=6n = 6 to n=2n = 2

C

n=2n = 2 to n=1n = 1

D

n=1n = 1 to n=2n = 2

Answer

n=2n = 2 to n=1n = 1

Explanation

Solution

hv=Rhcz2(1n121n22)hv=Rhcz^{2}\left(\frac{1}{n^{2}_{1}}-\frac{1}{n^{2}_{2}}\right)
