$A$ monochromatic light is incident on a hydrogen sample in the ground state. Hydrogen atoms absorb a fraction of light and subsequently emit radiation of six different wavelengths. The frequency of incident light is $x \times 10^{15} \ Hz$. The value of $x$ is (Given $h = 4.25 \times 10^{-15} \ eVs$)

The energy levels with transitions for an atom are shown in the figure. The transitions corresponding to the emission of radiation of maximum and minimum wavelength are respectively:

The figure shows the energy levels of a certain atom. When the electron de-excites from $3E$ to $E$,an electromagnetic wave of wavelength $\lambda$ is emitted. What is the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave emitted when the electron de-excites from $\frac{5E}{3}$ to $E$?

In the $n^{th}$ orbit,the energy of an electron is given by $E_n = -\frac{13.6}{n^2} \text{ eV}$ for a hydrogen atom. The energy required to excite the electron from the first orbit $(n=1)$ to the second orbit $(n=2)$ will be..... eV.
