In the Franck-Hertz experiment, the first dip in the current-voltage graph for hydrogen is observed at $10.2 \, V$. The wavelength of light emitted by the hydrogen atom when excited to the first excitation level is $\qquad$ $nm$.
(Given $hc = 1245 \, eV \cdot nm$, $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$).

If Bohr's quantisation postulate (angular momentum $= n h / 2 \pi$) is a basic law of nature, it should be equally valid for the case of planetary motion also. Why then do we never speak of quantisation of orbits of planets around the sun?

Minimum excitation potential of Bohr's first orbit in hydrogen atom is.....$V$

Consider an electron in the $n^{th}$ orbit of a hydrogen atom in the Bohr model. The circumference of the orbit can be expressed in terms of the de Broglie wavelength $\lambda$ of that electron as

The ionization potential of a hydrogen atom is $13.6 \ eV$. Hydrogen atoms in the ground state are excited by monochromatic radiation of photon energy $12.1 \ eV$. According to Bohr's theory,the number of spectral lines emitted by the hydrogen atoms will be:
