In a hydrogen like atom electron makes transition from an energy level with quantum number n to another with quantum number n - 1 . If n >> 1 , the frequency of radiation emitted is proportional to :
  1. 1 n 3 / 2
  2. 1 n 3
  3. 1 n
  4. 1 n 2

Solution

Δ E = h ν
ν = Δ E h = k 1 n - 1 2 - 1 n 2 = k 2 n n 2 n - 1 2

≈ 2 k n 3 ∝ 1 n 3
