$A$ hydrogen atom makes a transition from $n = 2$ to $n = 1$ and emits a photon. This photon strikes a doubly ionized lithium atom $(Z = 3)$ in an excited state and completely removes the orbiting electron. The least quantum number for the excited state of the ion for this process is:

If $n$ is the orbit number of the electron in a hydrogen atom,the correct statement among the following is

What is the excited state of an atom?

The energy of a hydrogen atom in its ground state is $-13.6 \ eV$. The energy of the level corresponding to the quantum number $n = 2$ (first excited state) in the hydrogen atom is......$eV$.

Transitions between three energy levels in a particular atom give rise to three spectral lines of wavelengths $\lambda_1, \lambda_2$ and $\lambda_3$. Given that the wavelengths are in increasing order of magnitude,which one of the following equations correctly relates $\lambda_1, \lambda_2$ and $\lambda_3$?
