Question

Which transition corresponds to emission of radiation of maximum wavelength?

Advertisements

Solution

`E = (hC)/lambda`

`lambda = (hC)/E`

For maximum wavelength, energy transition should be minimum.

A undergoes minimum energy transition.

A = 2 eV

Thus, photon in A will have the maximum wavelength.
