MCQ
The wavelength of a spectral line for an electronic transition is inversely related to :
  • A
    the number of orbital undergoing the transition.
  • the difference in energy levels involved in the transition.
  • C
    the nuclear charge of an atom
  • D
    the velocity of the electron undergoing the transition.

Answer

Correct option: B.
the difference in energy levels involved in the transition.
b
The wavelength of a spectral line for an electronic transition is inversely proportional to the difference in the energy levels involved in the transition.

$\Delta E = E _2- E _1=\frac{ hc }{\lambda}$

$\lambda \propto \frac{1}{\Delta E }$
