Radiations emitted in the form of Photons when electrons of Hydrogen atom full from higher levelto n = 1 level are in the:

Correct answer: A. Visible light region

  • A. Visible light region
  • B. Infra-red region
  • C. X-ray region
  • D. Ultra-violet region

Explanation

When electrons in a hydrogen atom transition from higher energy levels to the n = 1 (ground) energy level, they release energy in the form of photons. These photons have wavelengths corresponding to different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.For the hydrogen atom, transitions to the n = 1 level result in the emission of photons with energies corresponding to the visible light region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Each transition corresponds to a specific wavelength of light, producing different colors. These transitions are known as the Balmer series.

About Industrial Chemistry

Industrial chemistry applies chemical reactions and material properties to the manufacture of adhesives, dyes and polymers. Coverage includes addition and condensation polymerisation, thermoplastics and thermosetting polymers, the structural basis of colour in dyes, and how adhesive composition enables bonding between surfaces.
