    The diagram shows the energy levels for an electron in a certain atom. Which transition shown represents the emission of a photon with the most energy?

    A) IV                    

    B)        III

    C) II                     

    D)        I

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[E=Rhc\left[ \frac{1}{{{n}_{1}}^{2}}-\frac{1}{{{n}_{2}}^{2}} \right]\] E will be maximum for the transition for which \[\left[ \frac{1}{{{n}_{1}}^{2}}-\frac{1}{{{n}_{2}}^{2}} \right]\] is maximum. Here \[{{n}_{2}}\] is the higher energy level. Clearly, \[\left[ \frac{1}{{{n}_{1}}^{2}}-\frac{1}{{{n}_{2}}^{2}} \right]\] is maximum for the third transaction, i.e. \[2\to 1.\]I transition represents the absorption of energy.
