Photon of highest frequency will be absorbed when transition takes place from_.
Correct answer: A. 1st to 5th orbit
- A. 1st to 5th orbit
- B. 2nd to 5th orbit
- C. 3th to 5th orbit
- D. 4th to 5th orbit
Explanation
If energy gap is maximum then energy required will also be maximum.

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.
