An excited hydrogen atom emits a photon of wavelength $\lambda$ in returning to the ground state. The quantum number $n$ of the excited state is ($R=$ Rydberg's constant).

  • A
    $\sqrt{\lambda R(\lambda R-1)}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{\lambda R}{\lambda R-1}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{\lambda R-1}{\lambda R}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{1}{\lambda R(\lambda R-1)}}$

In Bohr's atomic model,the electron is assumed to revolve in a circular orbit of radius $0.5 \times 10^{-10} \; m$. If the speed of the electron is $2.2 \times 10^{6} \; m/s$,then the current associated with the electron will be $.... \times 10^{-2} \; mA$. [Take $\pi$ as $\frac{22}{7}$]

In a hydrogen atom,an electron of mass $9.1 \times 10^{-31} \ kg$ revolves about a proton in a circular orbit of radius $0.53 \ \mathring{A}$. The radial acceleration and angular velocity of the electron are respectively:
