Photon of high frequency will be absorbed when transition takes place from:
Correct answer: A. 1st to 5th orbit
- A. 1st to 5th orbit
- B. 3rd to 5th orbit
- C. 2nd to 5th orbit
- D. 4th to 5th orbit
Explanation
Photon of high frequency will be absorbed when transition takes place from 1st to 5th orbit because the energy difference is maximum than others.E5 - E1 =hf

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.
