In a $He^{+}$ ion,an electronic transition occurs from orbit $n_2$ to $n_1$ such that:
$2n_2 + 3n_1 = 18$
$2n_2 - 3n_1 = 6$
What is the total number of photons emitted when the electron transitions to the $n_1$ orbit?

  • A
    $21$
  • B
    $15$
  • C
    $20$
  • D
    $10$

What is the wave number of a photon emitted during the transition from orbit $n=4$ to $n=2$ in a hydrogen atom (in $cm^{-1}$)? $[R_{H}=109677 \ cm^{-1}]$

Assertion : Angular momentum of an electron in any orbit is given by angular momentum $= \frac{nh}{2\pi}$,where $n$ is the principal quantum number.
Reason : The principal quantum number,$n$,can have any integral value.
