The correct option is A III
Emission of a photon takes place when an electron makes a transition from higher energy state to lower energy state.
In transition I, the electron makes a transition from lower energy state to higher energy state, hence, there will not be emission of photon in transition I.
Energy of an orbital state in hydrogen atom is given as
E=−13.6n2 eV
So, for n=1→E1=−13.6 eV
for n=2→E2=−3.4 eV
for n=3→E3=−1.51 eV
for n=4→E4=−0.85 eV
In transition II,
ΔEII=E4−E3=0.66 eV
In transition III,
ΔEIII=E2−E1=10.2 eV
In transition IV,
ΔEIV=E4−E2=2.55 eV
ΔE is maximum for transition III
∴ Emission of a photon with maximum energy will be in transition III.
Hence, option (A) is correct.
