A hydrogen like species (atomic number Z) is present in a higher excited state of quantum number n. This excited atom can make a transitionn to the first excited state by successive emission of two photons of energies 10.20 eV and 17.0 eV respectively. Altetnatively, the atom from the same excited state can make a transition to the second excited state by successive of two photons of energy 4.25 eV and 5.95 eVv respectively. Determine the value of Z.

Answer» Correct Answer - 3
`Delta E = 13.6 xx z^(2) [(1)/(n_(1)^(2))-(1)/(n_(2)^(2))] rArr :. Z = 3`
