$A$ free hydrogen atom after absorbing a photon of wavelength $\lambda_{a}$ gets excited from the state $n=1$ to the state $n=4$. Immediately after that,the electron jumps to $n=m$ state by emitting a photon of wavelength $\lambda_{e}$. Let the change in momentum of the atom due to the absorption and the emission be $\Delta p_{a}$ and $\Delta p_{e}$,respectively. If $\lambda_{a} / \lambda_{e} = 1/5$,which of the following options is/are correct?
[Use $hc = 1242 \text{ eV nm}$; $1 \text{ nm} = 10^{-9} \text{ m}$,$h$ and $c$ are Planck's constant and speed of light,respectively]
$(1)$ $\lambda_{e} = 418 \text{ nm}$
$(2)$ The ratio of kinetic energy of the electron in the state $n=m$ to the state $n=1$ is $1/4$
$(3)$ $m=2$
$(4)$ $\Delta p_{a} / \Delta p_{e} = 1/2$

  • A
    $2, 3$
  • B
    $2, 4$
  • C
    $3, 2$
  • D
    $1, 3$
