The energy levels of an atom are shown below. When an electron makes a transition from an energy level of $2E$ to an energy level of $E$,the wavelength of the emitted electromagnetic radiation is $\lambda$. What is the wavelength of the emitted photon when the electron makes a transition from an energy level of $4E/3$ to an energy level of $E$?

An electron collides with a fixed hydrogen atom in its ground state. The hydrogen atom gets excited and the colliding electron loses all its kinetic energy. Consequently,the hydrogen atom may emit a photon corresponding to the largest wavelength of the Balmer series. The minimum kinetic energy $(K.E.)$ of the colliding electron will be.....$eV$.
