Question

Suppose that a certain atom possesses only four distinct energy levels. Assuming that all transitions between levels are possible, how many spectral lines will this atom exhibit

Answer 1

Answer:

Following are the response to the given question:

Explanation:

The number of shells

n = 4

Calculating the spectral line:

$= \frac{n(n-1)}{2}\\\\ = \frac{4(4-1)}{2} \\\\= \frac{4\times 3}{2}\\\\ = \frac{12}{2}\\\\ = 6$
