$A$ hydrogen atom is excited from the ground state to another state with a principal quantum number equal to $4$. The number of spectral lines in the emission spectra will be:

The largest wavelength in the ultraviolet region of the hydrogen spectrum is $122 \ nm$. The smallest wavelength in the infrared region of the hydrogen spectrum (to the nearest integer) is (in $nm$)

The light emitted in the transition $n = 3$ to $n = 2$ (where $n$ is the principal quantum number of the state) in hydrogen is called $H_{\alpha}$-light. Find the maximum work function that a metal can have so that $H_{\alpha}$-light can emit photoelectrons from it. (in $\text{ eV}$)

What is the ratio of the wavelengths of radiations emitted when an electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from the fourth orbit to the second orbit and from the third orbit to the second orbit?
