Solution

The difference in between the successive energy shells is not constant, it decreases as the value of n increases

Energy of nth orbit $= - 13.6 \times z^{2} / n^{2}$

So $n \propto \frac{1}{E}$

Hence as n increases $Δ E$ decreases.

The difference in between the successive energy shells is not constant, it decreases as the value of n increases Energy of nth orbit =−13.6×z2/n2 So n∝1E Hence as n increases ΔE decreases.
