Question:

Which of the following transition of an electron in H-atom will emit maximum energy?

Show Hint

The energy difference between two levels is greatest when the electron falls from higher levels to lower levels, particularly from n3n2 n_3 \to n_2 .

  • n6n5 n_6 \to n_5
  • n1n2 n_1 \to n_2
  • n3n2 n_3 \to n_2
  • n4n3 n_4 \to n_3

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The energy emitted when an electron transitions between two energy levels is proportional to the difference in energy levels.
The larger the difference in energy between the two levels, the greater the energy emitted.
The transition n3n2 n_3 \to n_2 involves a large energy difference compared to the others, resulting in the maximum energy emission.

Thus, the correct answer is (c).
