$A$ stationary hydrogen atom undergoes a transition from $n=5$ to $n=4$. The recoil speed of the atom is (where $R=$ Rydberg constant,$h=$ Planck's constant,and $m=$ mass of the hydrogen atom).

The time period of revolution of an electron in the $n^{\text{th}}$ orbit in a hydrogen-like atom is given by $T = \frac{T_0 n^a}{Z^b}$,where $Z$ is the atomic number. Identify the correct values for $T_0$,$a$,and $b$.

An electron in a hydrogen atom first jumps from the second excited state to the first excited state and then from the first excited state to the ground state. Let the ratio of wavelength,momentum,and energy of the photons in the two cases be $x, y,$ and $z$ respectively. Select the wrong answer$(s)$:

Hydrogen $(H)$,deuterium $(D)$,singly ionized helium $(He^+)$ and doubly ionized lithium $(Li^{2+})$ all have one electron around the nucleus. Consider the $n = 2$ to $n = 1$ transition. The wavelengths of emitted radiations are $\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \lambda_3$ and $\lambda_4$ respectively. Then approximately:
