During the transition of an electron from state $A$ to state $C$ of a Bohr atom,the wavelength of the emitted radiation is $2000 \ \mathring A$ and it becomes $6000 \ \mathring A$ when the electron jumps from state $B$ to state $C.$ Then the wavelength of the radiation emitted during the transition of electrons from state $A$ to state $B$ is

Energy levels $A, B, C$ of a certain atom correspond to increasing values of energy,that is,$E_A < E_B < E_C$. If $\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \lambda_3$ are the wavelengths of radiations corresponding to the transitions $C$ to $B$,$B$ to $A$,and $C$ to $A$ respectively,as shown in the figure. Which of the following statements is correct?

$A$ hydrogen atom (ionisation potential $13.6 \ eV$) makes a transition from the third excited state to the first excited state. The energy of the photon emitted in the process is.......$eV$.

In the hydrogen atom,if the reference level of potential energy is assumed to be zero at the ground state level,choose the incorrect statement.

The figure shows the energy levels of a certain atom. When the electron de-excites from $3E$ to $E$,an electromagnetic wave of wavelength $\lambda$ is emitted. What is the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave emitted when the electron de-excites from $\frac{5E}{3}$ to $E$?
