When a hydrogen atom emits a photon of energy $12.09 \,eV$,its orbital angular momentum changes by (where $h$ is Planck's constant)

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: In a hydrogen atom,the frequency of radiation emitted when an electron jumps from a lower energy orbit $(E_1)$ to a higher energy orbit $(E_2)$ is given as $hf = E_1 - E_2$.
Statement $II$: The jumping of an electron from a higher energy orbit $(E_2)$ to a lower energy orbit $(E_1)$ is associated with the frequency of radiation given as $f = (E_2 - E_1) / h$.
This condition is Bohr's frequency condition. In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.

For $He^{+}$, a transition takes place from the orbit of radius $105.8 \ pm$ to the orbit of radius $26.45 \ pm$. The wavelength (in $nm$) of the emitted photon during the transition is. . . . .
[Use: Bohr radius, $a_0=52.9 \ pm$; Rydberg constant, $R_H=2.2 \times 10^{-18} \ J$; Planck's constant, $h=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ J \ s$; Speed of light, $c=3 \times 10^8 \ m \ s^{-1}$]

The radius of a hydrogen atom in its ground state is $5.3 \times 10^{-11} \ m$. After collision with an electron,it is found to have a radius of $21.2 \times 10^{-11} \ m$. What is the principal quantum number $n$ of the final state of the atom?
