The following diagram indicates the energy levels of a certain atom. When the system moves from the $4E$ level to the $E$ level,a photon of wavelength ${\lambda _1}$ is emitted. The wavelength of the photon produced during its transition from the $\frac{7}{3}E$ level to the $E$ level is ${\lambda _2}$. The ratio $\frac{{{\lambda _1}}}{{{\lambda _2}}}$ will be:

  • A
    $\frac{9}{4}$
  • B
    $\frac{4}{9}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{7}{3}$

The following diagram indicates the energy levels of a certain atom. When the system moves from the $2E$ level to the $E$ level,a photon of wavelength $\lambda$ is emitted. The wavelength of the photon produced during its transition from the $\frac{4E}{3}$ level to the $E$ level is

When a hydrogen atom is raised from the ground state to an excited state,

The energy of an electron in the $n^{th}$ orbit of a hydrogen atom is given by $E_n = - \frac{13.6}{n^2} \ eV$. How much energy in $eV$ is required to move an electron from the first orbit to the third orbit?

Assertion : Between any two given energy levels,the number of absorption transitions is always less than the number of emission transitions.
Reason : Absorption transitions start from the lowest energy level only and may end at any higher energy level. But emission transitions may start from any higher energy level and end at any energy level below it.

The total energy of an electron in the first excited state of the hydrogen atom is $-3.4 \ eV$. Find out its potential energy in this state.
