    The photon radiated from hydrogen corresponding to 2nd line of Lyman series is absorbed by a hydrogen like atom X in 2nd excited state. As a result the hydrogen like atom X makes a transition to nth orbit. Then -

    A)  \[\text{X=H}{{\text{e}}^{\text{+}}},\,\,\text{n=4}\]

    B)  \[X=L{{i}^{++}},\,\,n=6\]

    C)  \[X=H{{e}^{+}},n=6\]

    D)  \[X=L{{i}^{++}},n=9\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Energy of nth state in hydrogen is same as energy of 3nth state in \[L{{i}^{++}}.\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,3\to 1\] transition in H would give same energy as the \[3\times 3\to 1\times 3\] transistor in \[L{{i}^{++}}.\]
