The stopping potential for the photoelectrons emitted from a metal surface of work function $1.7 \ eV$ is $10.4 \ V$. Identify the energy levels corresponding to the transitions in a hydrogen atom which will result in the emission of a wavelength equal to that of the incident radiation for the above photoelectric effect.

  • A
    $n = 3$ to $n = 1$
  • B
    $n = 3$ to $n = 2$
  • C
    $n = 2$ to $n = 1$
  • D
    $n = 4$ to $n = 1$
