Answer:
A) Spacing between energy levels n =1 and n = 2 in hydrogen atom is greater than that of n=2 and n = 3
Explanation:
The best way to answer this question would be look at the following chart where we can see that the energy gap between n=1 and n=2 occupies most of the space in the total energy distribution chart. And as we go to higher energy levels the gap between the lines keep on decreasing.
[This can be calculated mathematically also but the general knowledge of this chart will help you answer such questions quickly]
