Question 13 of 29
Select the transition that results in emitted light with the shortest wavelength.
A) n=6 to n=5
B) n=5 to n=4
C) n =3 to n = 2
D)n=4 to n = 3

Answer 1

C

Why? As you increased energy levels the distance between two energy levels gets larger. This is often due to shielding

Answer 2

The transition that results in emitted light with the shortest wavelength is  

n =3 to n = 2, therefore option (c) is correct.

What is n=3 to n=2 transition ?

The transition from n=3 to n=2,  is the transition with the lowest energy within the Balmer series.

The Balmer series is characterized by the electron transitioning from n ≥ 3 to n = 2, where n refers to the  principal quantum number of the electron .

The Balmer series is the portion of the emission spectrum of hydrogen that represents electron transitions.

The transition that results in emitted light with the shortest wavelength is  

n =3 to n = 2,hence option (c) is correct.
