When electron jumps from nth to the pth orbit in an hydrogen atom then the wavelength of the emitted radiation is given by:
Correct answer: A. Option A
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
We know 1/λ= RH [1/p2 - 1/n2] where n=p-1 (n is higher state and p is lower state).

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.
