Find the ratio of energies of photons produced due to the transition of an electron in a hydrogen atom from its $(i)$ second permitted energy level to the first level,and $(ii)$ the highest permitted energy level to the first permitted level.

$A$ free electron of $2.6 \, eV$ energy collides with a $H^+$ ion. This results in the formation of a hydrogen atom in the first excited state and a photon is released. Find the frequency of the emitted photon. $(h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \, J \cdot s)$

For a certain hypothetical one-electron atom,the wavelength (in $\mathring{A}$) for the spectral lines for transition from $n = p$ to $n = 1$ is given by $\lambda = \frac{1500p^2}{p^2 - 1}$ (where $p > 1$). The ionization potential of this element must be ......$V$ (Take $hc = 12420 \text{ eV-} \mathring{A}$).
