Hydrogen $(H)$, deuterium $(D)$, singly ionized helium $(He^+)$ and doubly ionized lithium $(Li^{++})$ all have one electron around the nucleus. Consider $n = 2$ to $n = 1$ transition. The wavelengths of emitted radiations are $\lambda_1, \lambda_2 \lambda_3$ and $\lambda_4$ respectively.

  • A

    $\lambda_1 = \lambda_2 = 4 \lambda_3 = 9 \lambda_4$

  • B

    $4 \lambda_1 = 2 \lambda_2 = 2 \lambda_3 = \lambda_4$

  • C

    $\lambda_1 = 2 \lambda_2 = 2 \sqrt 2  \lambda_3 = 3 \sqrt 2 \lambda_4$

  • D

    $\lambda_1 = \lambda_2 = 2 \lambda_3 = 3 \sqrt 2 \lambda_4$

The gravitational attraction between electron and proton in a hydrogen atom is weaker than the coulomb attraction by a factor of about $10^{-40} .$ An alternative way of looking at this fact is to estimate the radius of the first Bohr orbit of a hydrogen atom if the electron and proton were bound by gravitational attraction. 

In the Rutherford's nuclear model of the atom, the nucleus (radius about $10^{-15} \;m$ ) is analogous to the sun about which the electron move in orbit (radius $\approx 10^{-10} \;m$ ) like the earth orbits around the sun. If the dimensions of the solar system had the same proportions as those of the atom, would the earth be closer to or farther away from the sun than actually it is? The radius of earth's orbit is about $1.5 \times 10^{11} \;m.$ The radius of sun is taken as $7 \times 10^{8}\;m$
