Question

The electron in a hydrogen atoms makes a transition n1 → n2, n1 and n2 are the principal quantum number of two states. Assume the Bohr′s model to be valid. The time period of the electrons in the initial state is eight times that in the final state. The possible values of n1 and n2 are

Options

A.n1 = 4, n2 = 2
B.n1 = 8, n2 = 2
C.n1 = 8, n2 = 1
D.n1 = 6, n2 = 3

Solution

Time period, Tn =
i.e.,    Tn
But    rn ∝ n2 and
Therefore,    Tn ∝ n3
Given,     Tn1 = 8Tn2
Hence,     n1 = 2n2
Therefore, options (a) and (d) are correct.
