An electron in hydrogen atom makes a transition
where
and
are principal quantum numbers of the two states. Assuming Bohr’s model to be valid, the time period of the electron in the initial state is eight times that in the final state. The possible values of
and
are
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
The time period
of an electron in a Bohr orbit of principal quantum number
is



As
, the above relation gives

Thus the possible values of
and
are

, and so on.
