JEE MAIN - Physics (2012 - No. 4)

Hydrogen atom is excited from ground state to another state with principal quantum number equal to $$4.$$ Then the number of spectral lines in the emission spectra will be :
$$2$$
$$3$$
$$5$$
$$6$$

Explanation

The possible number of the spectral lines is given

$$ = {{n\left( {n - 1} \right)} \over 2} = {{4\left( {4 - 1} \right)} \over 2} = 6$$
