In an atom,an electron requires $47.2 \, eV$ of energy to transition from the $n = 2$ orbit to the $n = 3$ orbit. The atomic number $Z$ of the atom is:

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $5$
  • C
    $3$
  • D
    $4$

Assertion : Between any two given energy levels,the number of absorption transitions is always less than the number of emission transitions.
Reason : Absorption transitions start from the lowest energy level only and may end at any higher energy level. But emission transitions may start from any higher energy level and end at any energy level below it.

The energy $E$ of a hydrogen atom with principal quantum number $n$ is given by $E = \frac{-13.6}{n^2} \; eV$. The energy of a photon emitted when the electron jumps from the $n = 3$ state to the $n = 2$ state of hydrogen is approximately......$eV$.

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?

An electron collides with a hydrogen atom in its ground state and excites it to the $n=3$ state. The energy given to the hydrogen atom in this inelastic collision (neglecting the recoil of the hydrogen atom) is (in $\text{ eV}$)

The total energy of an electron in the $n^{th}$ stationary orbit of the hydrogen atom can be obtained by
