Q28.Radiation coming from transitions 𝑛= 2 to 𝑛= 1 of hydrogen atoms fall on He+ ions in 𝑛= 1 and 𝑛= 2 states. The possible transition of helium ions as they absorb energy from the radiation is: (1) 𝑛= 2 βŸΆπ‘›= 3 (2) 𝑛= 2 βŸΆπ‘›= 4 (3) 𝑛= 2 βŸΆπ‘›= 5 (4) 𝑛= 1 βŸΆπ‘›= 4

What This Question Tests

This question requires calculating the energy of photons emitted by hydrogen atoms and determining which transitions are possible for He+ ions upon absorbing this energy, based on their energy levels.
