Question

For a hydrogen like ion He+, there is a dumb-belled symmetric state A with 2 radial nodes in excited state. The final state after de-excitation was found to be ground state of H - atom.
How many spectral lines are possible there for this transition?

Solution

The correct option is B 6
State A is dumb-belled symmetric i.e. l = 1
Radial nodes = 2 n - l - 1 n = 4
Ground state of hydrogen atom n = 1
Means the transition is 4 1
Hence,
The total number of lines =(n2n1)(n2n1+1)2
=(41)(41+1)2
=3×42
=6 lines
