Question

According to the Bohr Theory, which of the following transitions in the hydrogen atom will give rise to the least energetic photon? (A) n = 5 to n = 3 (B) n = 6 to n = 1 (C) n = 5 to n = 4 (D) n = 6 to n = 5

E = (hC/λ) = hC RH [ (1/n12) - (1/n22)]

Q. According to the Bohr Theory, which of the following transitions in the hydrogen atom will give rise to the least energetic photon?

n = 5 to n = 3

n = 6 to n = 1

n = 5 to n = 4

n = 6 to n = 5

$E = \frac{h C}{λ} = h C R_{H} [\frac{1}{n _{1}^{2}} - \frac{1}{n _{2}^{2}}]$

n = 6 to n = 1

n = 5 to n = 4

n = 6 to n = 5

E=λhC​=hCRH​[n12​1​−n22​1​]

$E = \frac{h C}{λ} = h C R_{H} [\frac{1}{n _{1}^{2}} - \frac{1}{n _{2}^{2}}]$
