Question

Statement I : It is essential that all the lines available in the emission spectrum will not be available in the absorption spectrum. \ Statement II : The spectrum of hydrogen atom is only absorption spectrum.

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(b) : Emission transition can take place between any higher energy level and any level below it while absorption transitions start from lowest energy level and end at high energy level. So number of absorptions transitions between two given levels is always less than number of emission transition.
