Upon Electrification, Hydrogen Produces a Line Spectrum with the Following

question 88

Multiple Choice

Upon electrification, hydrogen produces a line spectrum with the following lines in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. If the light emitted corresponds to transitions from the third (n = 3) , fourth (n = 4) , fifth (n = 5) , or sixth (n = 6) energy level down to the second (n = 2) , which transition corresponds to the emission of light with lowest frequency?

• A)n = 2 → n = 3
• B)n = 2 → n = 6
• C)n = 3 → n = 2
• D)n = 4 → n = 2
• E)n = 6 → n = 2
