Question

In a sample of H-atom electrons make transition from 5th excited state to ground state, producing all possible types of photons, then number of lines in infrared region are

Options

A.4
B.5
C.6
D.3

Solution

infrared lines = total lines - visible lines - UV lines = - 4 - 5 = 15 - 9 = 6.
(visible lines = 4 6 → 2, 5 → 2, 4 → 2, 3 → 2)    (UV lines = 5   6 → 1, 5 → 1, 4 → 1, 3 → 1, 2 → 1)
