Q11 / 104 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Atomic Physics

In a hypothetical hydrogen like atom, if transition of electron from n=4 to n=3 produces visible light, then the possible transition to obtain infrared radiation is

  • A
    n=5 to n=3
  • B
    n=4 to n=2
  • C
    n=3 to n=1
  • Correct answer
    D
    n=5 to n=4

Solution

ΔE should be less than E4–E3

⇒n1=5, n2=4

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
