1/λn = R [1/p2 - 1/n2] in this relation p= 1, 2, 3...... and n will be:
Correct answer: B. P+1, P+2....
- A. P, P+1, P+2....
- B. P+1, P+2....
- C. P, P -1, P-2....
- D. P-1, P-2....
Explanation
We know 1/λn = R [1/p2 - 1/n2] where p is lower state and n is higher state.So, n = p+1Electrons move from one state to another higher one such that n-p=1.

About Atomic Spectra
Atoms emit or absorb light at specific wavelengths because electrons occupy quantized energy levels and change levels by absorbing or releasing photons. The topic covers emission and absorption spectra, spectral series, hydrogen’s line spectrum, energy-level transitions, and the relation between wavelength, frequency and photon energy.
