$A$ photon is emitted in transition from $n = 4$ to $n = 1$ level in a hydrogen atom. The corresponding wavelength for this transition is $......... \, nm$ (given,$h = 4 \times 10^{-15} \, eV \cdot s$ and $c = 3 \times 10^8 \, m/s$):

The ground state energy of the hydrogen atom is $-13.6 \ eV$. The kinetic and potential energy of the electron in the second excited state are,respectively:

Some energy levels of a molecule are shown in the figure. The ratio of the wavelengths $r = \frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2}$ is given by

$A$ sample of hydrogen atoms is in an excited state (all the atoms). The photons emitted from this sample are made to pass through a filter through which light having a wavelength greater than $800 \ nm$ can only pass. Only one type of photon is found to pass through the filter. The sample's initial excited state is: [Take $hc = 1240 \ eV \cdot nm$,ground state energy of hydrogen atom = $-13.6 \ eV$.]

As an electron makes a transition from an excited state to the ground state of a hydrogen-like atom/ion:
