Consider a hydrogen-like atom whose energy in the $n^{th}$ excited state is given by $E_n = - \frac{13.6 Z^2}{n^2}$. When this excited atom makes a transition from an excited state to the ground state, the most energetic photons have energy $E_{max} = 52.224 \ eV$ and the least energetic photons have energy $E_{min} = 1.224 \ eV$. The atomic number of the atom is:

To accommodate the view that matter is made up of $5$ elements only,a scientist proposed the following hypothesis: atoms can have a maximum principal quantum number $n_{\max}$ and no higher. Then,which of the following statements must be true?

According to de-Broglie,the de-Broglie wavelength for an electron in an orbit of radius $5.3 \times 10^{-11} \ m$ of a hydrogen atom is $10^{-10} \ m$. The principal quantum number for this electron is:

In $(i)$ a hydrogen atom and $(ii)$ a singly ionized helium atom,an electron makes a transition from the same excited state $n$ to the ground state. The ratio of the wavelengths of the emitted photons in the two cases will be:

Consider an electron in a hydrogen atom,revolving in its second excited state (having radius $4.65 \, \mathring{A}$). The de-Broglie wavelength of this electron is .... $\mathring{A}$.
