The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron moving in the $n^{\text{th}}$ Bohr orbit of radius $r$ is

Consider that an electron is revolving in an excited state of Hydrogen atom with velocity $\sqrt{25.6} \times 10^5 \text{ m s}^{-1}$. The radius of the orbit is $x \times 10^{-9} \text{ m}$. The value of $x$ is : [Take the mass of electron to be $9 \times 10^{-31} \text{ kg}$, charge of electron = $-1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}$ and $\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \text{ N m}^2 \text{ C}^{-2}$]

If $m$ is the mass of an electron,$v$ is its velocity,and $r$ is the radius of a stationary circular orbit around a nucleus with charge $Ze$,then from Bohr's postulate,the kinetic energy $K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$ of the electron in the $C.G.S.$ system is equal to:

The radius of the electron's second stationary orbit in Bohr's atom is $R$. The radius of the third orbit will be:

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 $....$
