Maximum frequency of emission is obtained for the transition:
1. n = 2 to n = 1
2. n = 6 to n = 2
3. n = 1 to n = 2
4. n = 2 to n = 6
The total energy of an electron in the first excited state of a hydrogen atom is about \(-3.4~\text{eV}.\) Its kinetic energy in this state will be:
1. \(-6.8~\text{eV}\)
2. \(3.4~\text{eV}\)
3. \(6.8~\text{eV}\)
4. \(-3.4~\text{eV}\)
Energy levels A, B and C of a certain atom correspond to increasing values of energy i.e. \(E_A<E_B<E_C\). If \(\lambda_1, ~\lambda_2\) and \(\lambda_3\) are wavelengths of radiations corresponding to transitions C to B, B to A and C to A respectively, which of the following relations is correct?
1. \(\lambda_3=\lambda_1+\lambda_2\)
2. \(\lambda_1+\lambda_2+\lambda_3=0\)
3. \(\lambda_3^2=\lambda_1^2+\lambda_2^2\)
4. \(\lambda_3=\frac{\lambda_1 \lambda_2}{\lambda_1+\lambda_2}\)
