MCQ
Number of spectral lines obtained in $\mathrm{He}^{+}$spectra, when an electron makes transition from fifth excited state to first excited state will be
  • A
    $11$
  • $10$
  • C
    $12$
  • D
    $13$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$10$
b
$5^{\text {th }} \text { excited state } \Rightarrow n_1=6$

$1^{\text {st }} \text { excited state } \Rightarrow n_2=2$

$\Delta n=n_1-n_2=6-2=4$

Maximum number of spectral lines

$=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{n}(\Delta \mathrm{n}+1)}{2}=\frac{4(4+1)}{2}=10$
