$A$ 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 = $-13.6 \ eV$.]

Which of the following transitions will have the highest emission wavelength?

An electron makes a transition from an excited state to the ground state of a hydrogen-like atom. Out of the following statements,which one is correct?

In an atom, the difference between two energy levels is $3.31 \ eV$. The wavelength of the radiation emitted when the transition takes place between these levels is nearly: (in $Å$)

$A$ hydrogen sample is prepared in a particular excited state $A$ of quantum number $n_A=3$. The ground state energy of the hydrogen atom is $-|E|$. Photons of energy $\frac{|E|}{12}$ are absorbed by the sample,which results in the excitation of some electrons to an excited state $B$ of quantum number $n_B$. The value of $n_B$ is:
