Question
The only electron in the hydrogen atom resides under ordinary conditions on the first orbit. When energy is supplied, the electron moves to higher energy orbit depending on the amount of energy absorbed. When this electron returns to any of the lower orbits, it emits energy. Lyman series is formed when the electron returns to the lowest orbit while Balmer series is formed when the electron returns to second orbit. Similarly, Paschen, Brackett and Pfund series are formed when electron returns to the third, fourth and fifth orbits from higher energy orbits respectively. The maximum number of lines produced when an electron jumps from nth level to ground level is equal Maximum number of lines produced when an electron jumps from nth level to ground level is equal to. 1(n−1)2. For example, in the case of n=4, number of lines produces is 6. (4→3,4→2,4→1,3→2,3→1,2→1). When an electron returns from to state, the number of lines in the spectrum will be equal to (n2−n1)(n2−n1+1)2 If the electron comes back from energy level having energy to energy level having energy, then the difference may be expressed in the terms of energy of photon as E2−E1ΔE,λ=hcΔE Since h and c are constants, ΔE corresponds to definite energy; thus each transition from one energy level to another will produce a light of definite wavelength. This is observed as a line in the spectrum of the hydrogen atom. Wavenumber of line is given by the formula ¯v=(1n21−1n22). where R is a Rydberg's constant (R=1.1×107m−1)
The energy photon emitted corresponding to transition n = 3 to n=1 is:[h=6×10−34J−sec]

Solution
The correct option is A 1.76×10−18 J
Energy transition is,
¯v×hc=hc×R×Z2(1n21−1n22)
=6×10−34×3×108×1.1×107×(1−19)
=1.76×10−18 J
Option A is correct.
