The given diagram indicates the energy levels of certain atom.When an electron moves from 2E level to E level, a photon of wavelength λ is emitted.The wavelength of photon emitted during its transition from 4E/3 level to E level is:
Correct answer: D. 3λ
- A. λ/3
- B. 3λ/4
- C. 4λ/3
- D. 3λ
Explanation
According to given conditions; hv = 2E - E → E = hc/λ Also, wavelength of photon when transition occurs, from 4E/3 level to E level → hc/λ1 = 4E/3 - E/3 → λ1 = (hc * 3./E = 3λ

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
