The wavelength of the first line of the Lyman series for a hydrogen atom is equal to that of the second line of the Balmer series for a hydrogen-like ion. The atomic number $Z$ of the hydrogen-like ion is:

$A$ hydrogen atom is excited from the ground state to the energy level $n = 3$. According to Bohr's model,the number of spectral lines emitted is:

The ratio of minimum wavelengths of Lyman and Balmer series will be

Assertion : Balmer series lies in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Reason : $\frac{1}{\lambda} = R \left[ \frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{n^2} \right]$,where $n = 3, 4, 5, \dots$

The light emitted in the transition $n = 3$ to $n = 2$ (where $n$ is the principal quantum number of the state) in hydrogen is called $H_{\alpha}$-light. Find the maximum work function that a metal can have so that $H_{\alpha}$-light can emit photoelectrons from it. (in $\text{ eV}$)
