The following statements are given about the hydrogen atom:
$A$. The wavelengths of the spectral lines of the Lyman series are greater than the wavelength of the second spectral line of the Balmer series.
$B$. The orbits correspond to circular standing waves in which the circumference of the orbit equals a whole number of wavelengths.

Consider an electron in the $n=3$ orbit of a hydrogen-like atom with atomic number $Z$. At absolute temperature $T$,a neutron having thermal energy $k_B T$ has the same de Broglie wavelength as that of this electron. If this temperature is given by $T = \frac{Z^2 h^2}{\alpha \pi^2 a_0^2 m_N k_B}$,(where $h$ is the Planck's constant,$k_B$ is the Boltzmann constant,$m_N$ is the mass of the neutron and $a_0$ is the first Bohr radius of hydrogen atom),then the value of $\alpha$ is $....$
