Number of spectral lines obtained in He+ spectra, when an electron makes transition from fifth excited state to first excited state will be
Answer
10
Solution
Fifth excited state: n1 = 6 ; first excited state: n2 = 2
Number of lines = n( n + 1)2, where n = 6 - 2 = 4
⇒ 4 52 = 10
∵ the count depends only on the levels involved, not on Z
Answer: 10
