Q28.In a hydrogen like atom electron makes transition from an energy level with quantum number n to another with quantum number (n −1). If n >> 1, the frequency of radiation emitted is proportional to : (1) 1 (2) 1 n3/2 n3 (3) 1 (4) 1 n n2

What This Question Tests

This question requires relating the energy difference between Bohr orbits to the frequency of emitted radiation, particularly for large quantum numbers where an approximation is useful.
