Q16.A hydrogen atom in ground state is given an energy of 10.2eV. How many spectral lines will be emitted due to transition of electrons? (1) 6 (2) 3 (3) 10 (4) 1

What This Question Tests

This question requires calculating the excited state level of a hydrogen atom after energy absorption and then determining the total number of possible spectral lines emitted during de-excitation.

Concepts Tested

Energy levels in hydrogen atomTransitions and spectral lines

Formulas Used

E_n = -13.6/n² eV

Number of spectral lines = n(n-1)/2
