Question

The electron in a hydrogen atom makes a transition from n = n1 to n = n2 state. The time period of the electron instate n1 is eight times in state n2. The possible values of n1 and n2 are

Options

A.n1 = 8, n2 = 1
B.n1 = 4, n2 = 1
C.n1 = 4, n2 = 2
D.n1 = 2, n2 = 4

Solution

Time period T = ∝ n3 But T1 = 8T2 ⇒ n13 = 8n23 ⇒ n1 = 2n2.
