The following statements are given about the hydrogen atom:
$A$. The wavelengths of the spectral lines of the Lyman series are greater than the wavelength of the second spectral line of the Balmer series.
$B$. The orbits correspond to circular standing waves in which the circumference of the orbit equals a whole number of wavelengths.

Using Bohr's atomic model,derive an equation for the radius of the $n^{th}$ orbit of an electron.

The inverse square law in electrostatics is $|\vec F| = \frac{{{e^2}}}{{4\pi { \in _0}{r^2}}}$ for the force between an electron and a proton. The $\frac{1}{r^2}$ dependence of $|\vec F|$ can be understood in quantum theory as being due to the fact that the particle of light (photon) is massless. If photons had a mass $m_p$,the force would be modified to $|\vec F| = \frac{{{e^2}}}{{4\pi { \in _0}}}\left( {\frac{1}{{{r^2}}} + \frac{\lambda }{r}} \right)\left( {{e^{ - \lambda r}}} \right)$ where $\lambda = \frac{{{m_p}c}}{\hbar }$ and $\hbar = \frac{h}{{2\pi }}$. Estimate the change in the ground state energy of a $H$-atom if $m_p$ were $10^{-6}$ times the mass of an electron.

Show that the first few frequencies of light that is emitted when electrons fall to the $n^{\text{th}}$ level from levels higher than $n$,are approximate harmonics (i.e.,in the ratio $1:2:3...$) when $n >> 1$.

An excited hydrogen atom emits a photon of wavelength $\lambda$ in returning to the ground state. The quantum number $n$ of the excited state is ($R=$ Rydberg's constant).
