A hydrogen atom in ground state is given an energy of 10.2 eV . How many spectral lines will be emitted due to transition of electrons?
  1. (A)6
  2. (B)3
  3. (C)10
  4. (D)1✓ Correct

Answer: (D)

Solution

Ground state energy of hydrogen is eV. Absorbing eV takes the electron to

which is the first excited state (). From the electron can only fall back to , giving exactly one spectral line.
