An electron in a hydrogen atom makes a transition from the $(n+1)^{th}$ orbit to the $n^{th}$ orbit. For large $n$,the wavelength of the emitted radiation is proportional to:

In a hydrogen atom, the energy of an electron in the first and third orbits is $E_1$ and $E_3$ respectively. If $E_3 = x E_1$, then the value of $x$ will be:

$A$ hydrogen atom makes a transition from $n = 2$ to $n = 1$ and emits a photon. This photon strikes a doubly ionized lithium atom $(Z = 3)$ in an excited state and completely removes the orbiting electron. The least quantum number for the excited state of the ion for this process is:
