The total energy of an electron $E_n = -\frac{Z^2me^4}{8\epsilon_0^2n^2h^2}$ in an atom is based on which hypothesis? Under what condition is this formula true?

The period of revolution of an electron in the ground state of a hydrogen atom is $T$. The period of revolution of the electron in the first excited state is

The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron in the $n^{th}$ Bohr orbit is $\lambda_n$ and the angular momentum is $J_n$,then:

The inverse square law in electrostatics is $|\vec F| = \frac{{{e^2}}}{{4\pi { \in _0}{r^2}}}$ for the force between an electron and a proton. The $\frac{1}{r^2}$ dependence of $|\vec F|$ can be understood in quantum theory as being due to the fact that the particle of light (photon) is massless. If photons had a mass $m_p$,the force would be modified to $|\vec F| = \frac{{{e^2}}}{{4\pi { \in _0}}}\left( {\frac{1}{{{r^2}}} + \frac{\lambda }{r}} \right)\left( {{e^{ - \lambda r}}} \right)$ where $\lambda = \frac{{{m_p}c}}{\hbar }$ and $\hbar = \frac{h}{{2\pi }}$. Estimate the change in the ground state energy of a $H$-atom if $m_p$ were $10^{-6}$ times the mass of an electron.

$A$ stationary hydrogen atom undergoes a transition from $n=5$ to $n=4$. The recoil speed of the atom is (where $R=$ Rydberg constant,$h=$ Planck's constant,and $m=$ mass of the hydrogen atom).
