Which of the following electron transitions in a hydrogen atom emits light of the shortest wavelength? Circle the correct answer and explain your answer. (No calculation needed.) A. n = 4 to n = 1 B. n = 2 to n = 1 C. n = 7 to n = 4 D. n = 4 to n = 2

Transition from n = 4 to n = 1  corresponds to shortest wavelength.

Explanation:

         Process                  

             A                                         0.9375

             B                                          0.75

             C                                          0.0421

             D                                          0.1875

According to Rydberg equation for electronic transition in H-like atoms:

where, is wavelength of light emitted or absorbed, is Rydberg constant.

So, higher the value of , lower will the corresponding wavelength of light.

Hence process A will be associated with shortest wavelength.

plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food. plants use the raw materials of water, nutrients they absorb from soil, and carbon dioxide to make sugars the plant can use. energy from the sun and chlorophyll are also needed.
