A photon was absorbed by a hydrogen atom in its ground state, and orbit. When the excited atom returned to its ground state, visible, process, how many maximum spectral lines could be obtained -
The emission of visible light corresponds to the transition to second orbit, since it involve Balmer series.
The formula for spectral line is given as
12n(n−1)
So, for the transition from 2→1
The maximum number of spectral lines is1
