Question

According to Rhedbergs equation, in hydrogen spectrum the energy is maximum when electron jumps to infinity. When it jumps to infinity, how it releases energy?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Here RH = constant, called Rydberg constant for hydrogen and n1 , n2 are integers (n2 > n1)

For any particular series, the value of n1 is constant while that of n2 changes.

The excess energy is used by the elecron to attain the excited state i.e. infinity and when it get all used up the electron get back to its original state
