The diagram below shows the lowest four energy levels for an electron in a hypothetical atom. The electron is excited to the $-1\,eV$ level and transitions to the lowest energy state $(-12\,eV)$ by emitting exactly two photons. Which of the following energies could not belong to either of the photons (in $eV$)?

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $6$

$A$ sample of hydrogen atoms is in an excited state (all the atoms). The photons emitted from this sample are made to pass through a filter through which light having a wavelength greater than $800 \ nm$ can only pass. Only one type of photon is found to pass through the filter. The sample's initial excited state is: [Take $hc = 1240 \ eV \cdot nm$,ground state energy of hydrogen atom = $-13.6 \ eV$.]
