In a hydrogen atom,if an electron in the orbit with principal quantum number $n$ jumps to the first excited state,the wavelength of the emitted photon is $\lambda$. Then the value of $n$ is (where $R$ is the Rydberg constant).

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{4 \lambda R}{\lambda R+4}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{4 \lambda R}{\lambda R-4}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{\lambda R-4}{4 \lambda R}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{\lambda R+4}{4 \lambda R}}$

The kinetic energy of the electron in an orbit of radius $r$ in a hydrogen atom is ($e =$ electronic charge).

The ratio of the velocity of an electron in the ground state of a hydrogen atom to the velocity of light (in $CGS$ units) is:

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:

The product of linear momentum and angular momentum of an electron of the hydrogen atom is proportional to $n^{x}$,where $x$ is

From a carbon nanotube of $1 \,\mu m$ length and $1 \,nm$ radius,$10$ electrons have been removed. Assume the resulting positive charge to be distributed uniformly over the surface of the tube. The energy of an electron moving in a stable circular orbit around the axis along the length of the tube is calculated by applying the Bohr model. Accordingly,the frequency of radiation required to excite an electron from its ground state to the next level is in the range of (charge of the electron,$e = 1.60 \times 10^{-19} \,C$; mass of the electron,$m_e = 9.11 \times 10^{-31} \,kg$; Planck's constant,$h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \,Js$; Permittivity of free space,$\varepsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \,F/m$)
