Answer:
The <em><u>n = 2 → n = 3</u></em> transition results in the absorption of the highest-energy photon.
Explanation:
Formula used for the radius of the orbit will be,
where,
= energy of
orbit
n = number of orbit
Z = atomic number
Here: Z = 1 (hydrogen atom)
Energy of the first orbit in H atom .
Energy of the second orbit in H atom .
Energy of the third orbit in H atom .
Energy of the fifth orbit in H atom .
Energy of the sixth orbit in H atom .
Energy of the seventh orbit in H atom .
During an absorption of energy electron jumps from lower state to higher state.So, absorption will take place in :
1) n = 2 → n = 3
2) n= 5 → n = 6
Energy absorbed when: n = 2 → n = 3
Energy absorbed when: n = 5 → n = 6
1.89 eV > 0.166 eV
E> E'
So,the n = 2 → n = 3 transition results in the absorption of the highest-energy photon.
