$A$ free hydrogen atom after absorbing a photon of wavelength $\lambda_{a}$ gets excited from the state $n=1$ to the state $n=4$. Immediately after that,the electron jumps to $n=m$ state by emitting a photon of wavelength $\lambda_{e}$. Let the change in momentum of the atom due to the absorption and the emission be $\Delta p_{a}$ and $\Delta p_{e}$,respectively. If $\lambda_{a} / \lambda_{e} = 1/5$,which of the following options is/are correct?
[Use $hc = 1242 \text{ eV nm}$; $1 \text{ nm} = 10^{-9} \text{ m}$,$h$ and $c$ are Planck's constant and speed of light,respectively]
$(1)$ $\lambda_{e} = 418 \text{ nm}$
$(2)$ The ratio of kinetic energy of the electron in the state $n=m$ to the state $n=1$ is $1/4$
$(3)$ $m=2$
$(4)$ $\Delta p_{a} / \Delta p_{e} = 1/2$

  • A
    $2, 3$
  • B
    $2, 4$
  • C
    $3, 2$
  • D
    $1, 3$

If $m$ is the mass of an electron,$v$ is its velocity,$r$ is the radius of a stationary circular orbit around a nucleus with charge $Ze$,then from Bohr's first postulate,the kinetic energy of the electron is (where $K = 1 / 4 \pi \epsilon_0$):

The gravitational attraction between an electron and a proton in a hydrogen atom is weaker than the Coulomb attraction by a factor of about $10^{-40}$. An alternative way of looking at this fact is to estimate the radius of the first Bohr orbit of a hydrogen atom if the electron and proton were bound by gravitational attraction.

In hydrogen atoms, the radius of the smallest orbit of the electron is $a_0$. The radius of the third orbit is:

In Bohr's model,the atomic radius of the first orbit is $r_0$,then the radius of the third orbit is

The radius of the smallest electron orbit in a hydrogen-like ion is $(0.51/4 \times 10^{-10}) \text{ m}$. This ion is:
