Q.

A sample of hydrogen gas is excited by means of a monochromatic radiation. In the subsequent emission spectrum, 10 different wavelengths are obtained, all of which have energies greater than or equal to the energy of the absorbed radiation. The initial quantum number of the state (before absorbing radiation) is
