Q. The electron in the hydrogen atom undergoes transition from higher orbitals to orbital of radius $211.6\, pm$. This transition is associated with

JEE MainJEE Main 2017Structure of Atom

Solution:

$R = 211.6\, pm = 2.11 \mathring{A}$

$R=0.529\times\frac{n^{2}}{Z}=2.11 \,\mathring{A}$

$n^{2}=4$

$ \Rightarrow n=2$
