$A$ hydrogen atom at the ground level absorbs a photon and is excited to $n=4$ level. The potential energy of the electron in the excited state is

Assertion : Between any two given energy levels,the number of absorption transitions is always less than the number of emission transitions.
Reason : Absorption transitions start from the lowest energy level only and may end at any higher energy level. But emission transitions may start from any higher energy level and end at any energy level below it.

In the hydrogen atom spectrum,let $E_1$ and $E_2$ be the energies for the transitions $n=2 \rightarrow n=1$ and $n=3 \rightarrow n=2$ respectively. The ratio $E_2 / E_1$ is

Some of the wavelengths observed in the emission spectrum of neutral hydrogen gas are $912, 1026, 1216, 3646, 6563 \, \mathring{A}$. If broadband light is passing through neutral hydrogen gas at room temperature,then the wavelength that will not be absorbed strongly is .................. $\mathring{A}$.

The figure shows the energy levels $P, Q, R, S$ and $G$ of an atom,where $G$ is the ground state. $A$ red line in the emission spectrum of the atom is obtained by an energy level transition from $Q$ to $S$. $A$ blue line can be obtained by which of the following energy level transitions?
