  • A
    $+\frac{3}{2}x$
  • B
    $-\frac{3}{8}x$
  • C
    $+\frac{3}{4}x$

What is the maximum number of emission lines when the excited electron of an $H$ atom in $n=6$ drops to the ground state?

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: Bohr's theory accounts for the stability and line spectrum of $Li^{+}$ ion.

In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

$A$ bulb of $40 \ W$ is producing light of wavelength $620 \ nm$ with $80 \%$ efficiency. The number of photons emitted by the bulb in $20 \ s$ is $(1 \ eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ J, hc = 12400 \ eV \ \mathring{A})$

When the electron passes from the energy state nearest to the nucleus to the third energy level,it will:

According to Bohr's theory,
