An electron from various excited states of hydrogen atom emit radiation to come to the ground state. Let 
be the de-Broglie wavelength of the electron in the nth state and the ground state respectively. Let 
be the wavelength of the emitted photon in the transition from the nth state to the ground state. For large 
, (A, B are constants)
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
If wavelength of emitted photon in de-excitation is 
;
Then, 
As energies are negative, we get
where, 
and 
are constants.
