Question

If the 9546 \(\AA\) wavelength spectral line in hydrogen spectrum is due to the transition of an electron from a higher orbit to \(n^{th}\) lower orbit, then the value of \(n\) is:

• A. 2
• B. 1
• C. 3
• D. 4

Hint:

Series of hydrogen spectrum: \[ n=1 \rightarrow \text{Lyman} \] \[ n=2 \rightarrow \text{Balmer} \] \[ n=3 \rightarrow \text{Paschen} \] \[ n=4 \rightarrow \text{Brackett} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
