When does Bohr's orbital frequency equal the emitted line frequency?
AFor transitions at very large n
BFor every possible transition
CFor the ground state alone
DFor transitions ending at n = 2
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. For transitions at very large n
Only for jumps from n to n - 1 with very large n do the classical and quantum frequencies coincide.
