Energy of an electron in $n^{th}$ orbit of hydrogen atom is $\left( {k = \frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}} \right)$

The energy (in $eV$) required to excite an electron from $n=2$ to $n=4$ state in a hydrogen atom is:

The figure indicates the energy level diagram of an atom and the origin of six spectral lines in emission (e.g.,line no. $5$ arises from the transition from level $B$ to $A$). Which of the following spectral lines will also occur in the absorption spectrum?

To excite the spectral line of wavelength $4960 \mathring A$ of an atom, an excitation energy of $7.7 \text{ eV}$ is required. The ground state energy of the atom is $10.5 \text{ eV}$. The energies of the two levels involved in the emission of the $4960 \mathring A$ line are (Assume $hc = 1240 \text{ eV nm}$, where $h$ is Planck's constant and $c$ is the speed of light).

$A$ $12.5 \text{ eV}$ electron beam is used to bombard gaseous hydrogen at ground state. The energy level up to which the hydrogen atoms would be excited is:
