An electron in a hydrogen atom makes a transition from the $(n+1)^{th}$ orbit to the $n^{th}$ orbit. For large $n$,the wavelength of the emitted radiation is proportional to:

An electron in a hydrogen atom first jumps from the third excited state to the second excited state and then from the second excited state to the first excited state. The ratio of the wavelengths $\lambda_1 : \lambda_2$ emitted in the two cases is

The following diagram indicates the energy levels of a certain atom. When the system moves from the $2E$ level to the $E$ level, it emits a photon of wavelength $\lambda$. What is the wavelength of the photon produced during its transition from the $\frac{4E}{3}$ level to the $E$ level?

The energy of a hydrogen atom in its ground state is $-13.6 \ eV$. The energy of the level corresponding to the quantum number $n = 2$ (first excited state) in the hydrogen atom is......$eV$.
