Q.

Consider a hydrogen like atom whose energy in nth excited state is given by En=13.6Z2n2 . When this excited atom, makes a transition from excited state to ground state, most energetic photons have energy Emax=52.224eV and least energetic photons have energy Emin=1.224eV. The atomic number of atom is

Maximum energy is liberated for transition En1 and minimum energy for EnEn1

 Hence  E1n2E1=52.224eV.........(i)  and E1n2E1(n1)2=1.224eV..........(ii) 

Solving equations (i) and (ii) we get

E1=54.4eV and n=5  Now E1=13.6Z212=54.4eV. Hence Z=2
