In the hydrogen atom, the electron makes a transition from the higher orbit $(i)$ to a lower orbit $(f)$. The ratio of the radius of the orbits is given by $r_i : r_f = 16 : 4$. The wavelength of the photon emitted due to this transition is . . . . . . nm. (Given Rydberg constant $R = 1.0973 \times 10^7 \text{ m}^{-1}$)

What is ground state?

When an electron jumps from the orbit $n=2$ to $n=4$,the wavelength of the radiation absorbed will be ($R$ is Rydberg's constant).

$A$ doubly charged lithium atom $(Li^{++})$ is a hydrogen-like species with atomic number $Z = 3$. The wavelength of the radiation required to excite an electron from the first to the third Bohr orbit in $Li^{++}$ is.......$\mathring{A}$ (Ionization energy of hydrogen atom is $13.6\,eV$).
