Concept explainers
The number of spectral line an atom having four energy levels can emit.
The transition that produces the photon with the highest energy.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
When an atom makes transition from one level to another it emits a photon of energy equal to the
energy difference between the two levels.
The atom has four energy levels,
The possible transitions are:
Hence, the atom can emitsix possible spectral lines.
Conclusion:
The atom can emitsix possible spectral lines.
The transition
