The radius of a hydrogen atom in the ground state is $0.53 \ Å$. After collision with an electron,it is found to have a radius of $2.12 \ Å$. The principal quantum number $n$ of the final state of the atom is:

  • A
    $n=2$
  • B
    $n=3$
  • C
    $n=4$
  • D
    $n=1$

The ratio of the centripetal accelerations of the electron in two successive orbits of hydrogen is $81: 16$. Due to a transition between these two states,the angular momentum of the electron changes by ($h$ - Planck's constant).

According to Bohr's theory,the radius of an electron in an orbit described by principal quantum number $n$ and atomic number $Z$ is proportional to:

The ionisation energy of $10$ times ionised sodium atom is:

The Rydberg constant $R$ for hydrogen is

An electron in a hydrogen atom,after absorbing energy photons,can jump between energy states $n_1$ and $n_2$ $(n_2 > n_1)$. It then returns to the ground state,emitting six different wavelengths in the emission spectrum. The energy of the emitted photons can be equal to,less than,or greater than the absorbed photon energy. Determine $n_1$ and $n_2$.
