Nuclear Physics And Radioactivity Question 12

Question: Assertion : The electron in the hydrogen atom passes from energy level $ n=4 $ to the $ n=1 $ level. The maximum and minimum number of photon that can be emitted are six and one respectively. Reason : The photons are emitted when electron make a transition from the higher energy state to the lower energy state.

Options:

A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C) If assertion is true but reason is false.

D) If the assertion and reason both are false.

E) If assertion is false but reason is true.

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Maximum number of photon is given by all the transitions possible $ ={4_{C_{2}}}=6 $ Minimum number of transition = 1, that is directly jump from 4 to 1.
