Consider a hydrogen-like atom whose energy in the $n^{th}$ excited state is given by $E_n = - \frac{13.6 Z^2}{n^2}$. When this excited atom makes a transition from an excited state to the ground state, the most energetic photons have energy $E_{max} = 52.224 \ eV$ and the least energetic photons have energy $E_{min} = 1.224 \ eV$. The atomic number of the atom is:

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $5$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    None of these

In a mixture of $H-He^{+}$ gas ($He^{+}$ is a singly ionized $He$ atom),$H$ atoms and $He^{+}$ ions are excited to their respective first excited states. Subsequently,$H$ atoms transfer their total excitation energy to $He^{+}$ ions by collisions. Assume that the Bohr model of the atom is exactly valid.

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: In a hydrogen atom,the frequency of radiation emitted when an electron jumps from a lower energy orbit $(E_1)$ to a higher energy orbit $(E_2)$ is given as $hf = E_1 - E_2$.
Statement $II$: The jumping of an electron from a higher energy orbit $(E_2)$ to a lower energy orbit $(E_1)$ is associated with the frequency of radiation given as $f = (E_2 - E_1) / h$.
This condition is Bohr's frequency condition. In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.

What is the ratio of the area of the orbit of an electron in the first excited state to that in the ground state of a hydrogen atom (in $: 1$)?
