Question
Electrons are de-exciting from the fifth orbit in hydrogen atoms but the first orbit is not available for them. The maximum number of spectral lines should be
Options
A.10
B.6
C.15
D.3
Solution
Number of available orbits is only 4. Hence, maximum number of spectral lines = $4_{C_{2}} = 6$.
