Q19.In a hydrogen atom the electron makes a transition from (n + 1)th level to the nth level. If n >> 1 , the frequency of radiation emitted is proportional to : (1) 1 (2) 1 n n3 (3) 1 (4) 1 n2 n4

What This Question Tests

This question tests the understanding of energy transitions in the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom and how the frequency of emitted radiation scales with the principal quantum number for high energy levels.

Concepts Tested

Energy levels in hydrogen atomFrequency of emitted radiationApproximation for large principal quantum numbers

Formulas Used

E_n = -Rhc/n²

ΔE = hf

(a+b)² - a² = 2ab + b²
