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 $....$

$A$ particular hydrogen-like ion emits radiation of frequency $2.92 \times 10^{15} \text{ Hz}$ when it makes a transition from $n=3$ to $n=1$. The frequency in $\text{Hz}$ of radiation emitted in the transition from $n=2$ to $n=1$ will be: (in $\times 10^{15}$)
