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?

  • A
    $n=4$
  • B
    $n=2$

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moves around the origin in a potential $\frac{1}{2} m \omega^{2} r^{2}$,where $r$ is the distance from the origin. Applying the Bohr's model in this case,the radius of the particle in its $n$th orbit in terms of $a=\sqrt{\frac{h}{2 \pi m \omega}}$ is

The wavelength of the radiation emitted is $\lambda_0$ when an electron jumps from the second excited state to the first excited state of a hydrogen atom. If the electron jumps from the third excited state to the second orbit of the hydrogen atom, the wavelength of the radiation emitted will be $(20\lambda_0/x)$. The value of $x$ is

For a hydrogen atom,when an electron jumps from $n = 2$ to $n = 1$,the wavelength of the radiation emitted is found to be $\lambda_0$. For which transition of an electron in a $He^+$ ion will the wavelength of the radiation emitted be equal to $\lambda_0$?
