Q27.In a hydrogen like atom, when an electron jumps from the M-shell to the L-shell, the wavelength of emitted radiation is L. If an electron jumps from N -shell to the L -shell, the wavelength of emitted radiation will be: (1) 27 λ (2) 16 λ 20 25 (3) 25 λ (4) 20 λ 16 27

What This Question Tests

This problem applies the Rydberg formula or energy level transitions for hydrogen-like atoms to find the wavelength of emitted radiation for different electron jumps.

Concepts Tested
