  • A
    $Z^2 n^2$
  • B
    $\frac{Z^2}{n^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{Z^2}{n}$

Given below are two statements.
Statement $(I) :$ The dimensions of Planck's constant and angular momentum are same.
Statement $(II) :$ In Bohr's model,electrons revolve around the nucleus only in those orbits for which angular momentum is an integral multiple of Planck's constant.

The radius of a hydrogen atom in its ground state is $5.3 \times 10^{-11} \ m$. After collision with an electron,it is found to have a radius of $21.2 \times 10^{-11} \ m$. What is the principal quantum number $n$ of the final state of the atom?

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 $n >> 1$.
