MCQ
According to the Bohr theory, which of the following transitions in the hydrogen atom will give rise to the least energetic photon ?
  • A
    $n = 6$ to $ n = 1$
  • B
    $n = 5$ to $n = 4$
  • $n = 6 $ to $n = 5$
  • D
    $n = 5$ to $n = 3$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$n = 6 $ to $n = 5$
c
$E=\frac{h C}{\lambda}=h C R_{H}\left[\frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}}\right]$

where $n_{2}>n_{1}$

Energy of photon obtained from the transition $n=6$ to $n=5$ will have least energy.
