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

What is the angular momentum of an electron in Bohr's hydrogen atom whose energy is $-0.544 \ eV$?

Speed of electron in its $1^{st}$ Bohr's orbit is given by $2.18 \times 10^6 \ m/s$. If the time period of electron in $n^{th}$ orbit is measured as $4.10 \ fs$,the value of $n$ is

According to Bohr's atomic model,which of the following is $NOT$ a possible energy for a photon emitted by a hydrogen atom (in $;eV$)? (in $eV$)

For $He^{+}$, a transition takes place from the orbit of radius $105.8 \ pm$ to the orbit of radius $26.45 \ pm$. The wavelength (in $nm$) of the emitted photon during the transition is. . . . .
[Use: Bohr radius, $a_0=52.9 \ pm$; Rydberg constant, $R_H=2.2 \times 10^{-18} \ J$; Planck's constant, $h=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ J \ s$; Speed of light, $c=3 \times 10^8 \ m \ s^{-1}$]

$A$ sample of hydrogen-like atoms produces an emission spectrum consisting of $10$ wavelengths arising from all possible transitions. During this process,the maximum angular momentum change for an electron transitioning from a higher energy level to a lower energy level is:
