A photon was absorbed by a hydrogen atom in its ground state, and the electron was prompted to the fifth orbit. When the excited atom returned to its ground state, visible and other quanta were emitted. In this process, how many maximum spectral lines could be obtained?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
to 1 
to 2 
to 3 
to 4 
to 1 
to 2 
, (4 to 3), (3 to 1), (3 to 2 ) and (2 to 1)
So, 10 maximum spectral lines could be otained.
