If an electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from the $3^{rd}$ orbit to the $2^{nd}$ orbit,it emits a photon of wavelength $\lambda$. When it jumps from the $4^{th}$ orbit to the $3^{rd}$ orbit,the corresponding wavelength of the photon will be

  • A
    $\frac{20}{7}\lambda$
  • B
    $\frac{20}{13}\lambda$
  • C
    $\frac{16}{25}\lambda$
  • D
    $\frac{9}{16}\lambda$

For a hydrogen atom,$\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are the wavelengths corresponding to the transitions $1$ and $2$ respectively,as shown in the figure. The ratio of $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ is $\frac{x}{32}$. The value of $x$ is $..........$

The ratio of the longest to the shortest wavelength emitted in the Paschen series of a hydrogen atom is:

The first three spectral lines of the $H$-atom in the Balmer series are given as $\lambda_{1}, \lambda_{2}, \lambda_{3}$. Considering the Bohr atomic model,the wavelengths of the first and third spectral lines $\left(\frac{\lambda_{1}}{\lambda_{3}}\right)$ are related by a factor of approximately '$x$' $\times 10^{-1}$. The value of $x$,to the nearest integer,is:
