The transition from the state to in a hydrogen-like atom results in ultraviolet radiation. Infrared radiation will be obtained in the transition from:

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The energy of radiation emitted is .Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has higher energy than Infrared (IR) radiation. For IR radiation, we need a transition with lower energy than the transition.In the options: is Lyman series (UV). and are Balmer series (Visible/UV). is Brackett series, which corresponds to much lower energy and falls in the Infrared region.Generally, as the principal quantum numbers increase, the energy gap between adjacent levels decreases. Thus, has less energy than .
