When a hydrogen atom in an excited state undergoes electronic transitions to the ground state,$5$ spectral lines are observed in the ultraviolet region. How many spectral lines will be observed in the infrared region due to transitions from the same excited state?

The ground and first excited state energies are $E_1$ and $E_2$ respectively. Which pair of species has the same energy? [Note that energy is indicated in the bracket].

Which of the following statements are correct?
$I$) The energy of hydrogen atom in its ground state is $-13.6 \ eV$
$II$) On the basis of Bohr's model,the radius of the $3^{rd}$ orbit of hydrogen atom is $158.7 \ pm$
$III$) The order of radius of the first orbit of $H, He^{+}, Li^{2+}$ and $Be^{3+}$ is $H > He^{+} > Li^{2+} > Be^{3+}$
