Transitions, Photon Emission & Excitation

According to Bohr atomic model, in which of the following transitions will the frequency be maximum?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. ν∝(1nf2−1ni2)\nu \propto \left(\frac{1}{n_f^2}-\frac{1}{n_i^2}\right); the gap is largest for the lowest levels.
  2. 2→12\to1: 0.750.75; 3→23\to2: 0.1390.139; 4→34\to3: 0.0490.049; 5→45\to4: 0.0230.023
  3. So the answer is (a) n=2n=2 to n=1n=1.
