In the Bohr model of the $H$-atom,the kinetic energy of an electron in any orbit depends on the principal quantum number $n$ as:

  • A
    $K \propto \frac{1}{n^2}$
  • B
    $K \propto n^2$
  • C
    $K \propto \frac{1}{n^4}$
  • D
    $K$ does not depend on $n$

What is ground state?

Line spectrum was first of all theoretically explained by

The Hitomi satellite recently observed the Lyman alpha emission line ($n=2$ to $n=1$) of hydrogen-like iron ion (atomic number of iron is $26$) from the Perseus galaxy cluster. The wavelength of the line is closest to ............... $\mathring{A}$.

An electron in a hydrogen atom,after absorbing energy photons,can jump between energy states $n_1$ and $n_2$ $(n_2 > n_1)$. It then returns to the ground state,emitting six different wavelengths in the emission spectrum. The energy of the emitted photons can be equal to,less than,or greater than the absorbed photon energy. Determine $n_1$ and $n_2$.

An orbital electron in the ground state of hydrogen has a magnetic moment $\mu_1$. This orbital electron is excited to the $3^{rd}$ excited state by some energy transfer to the hydrogen atom. If the new magnetic moment of the electron is $\mu_2$,then:
