Question

Consider a hydrogen like atom whose energy in n^th excited state is given by E_n = - when this excited atom makes a transition from excited state to ground stat, most energetic photons have energy E_max = 52.2224 eV and least energetic photons have energy E_min = 1.224 eV. The atomic number of atom is -

Accepted Answer

Hence - E1 = 52.224eV and = 1.224eV &#8658; E1 = - 54.4eV and n = 5Now E1 = - = - 54.4 eV. Hence Z - 2
