If an electron jumps from the $1^{st}$ orbital to the $3^{rd}$ orbital,then it will:

Consider an electron in the $n=3$ orbit of a hydrogen-like atom with atomic number $Z$. At absolute temperature $T$,a neutron having thermal energy $k_B T$ has the same de Broglie wavelength as that of this electron. If this temperature is given by $T = \frac{Z^2 h^2}{\alpha \pi^2 a_0^2 m_N k_B}$,(where $h$ is the Planck's constant,$k_B$ is the Boltzmann constant,$m_N$ is the mass of the neutron and $a_0$ is the first Bohr radius of hydrogen atom),then the value of $\alpha$ is $....$
