The radius of a hydrogen atom in the ground state is $0.53 \ Å$. After collision with an electron,it is found to have a radius of $2.12 \ Å$. The principal quantum number $n$ of the final state of the atom is:

  • A
    $n=2$
  • B
    $n=3$
  • C
    $n=4$
  • D

$A$ free hydrogen atom after absorbing a photon of wavelength $\lambda_{a}$ gets excited from the state $n=1$ to the state $n=4$. Immediately after that,the electron jumps to $n=m$ state by emitting a photon of wavelength $\lambda_{e}$. Let the change in momentum of the atom due to the absorption and the emission be $\Delta p_{a}$ and $\Delta p_{e}$,respectively. If $\lambda_{a} / \lambda_{e} = 1/5$,which of the following options is/are correct?
[Use $hc = 1242 \text{ eV nm}$; $1 \text{ nm} = 10^{-9} \text{ m}$,$h$ and $c$ are Planck's constant and speed of light,respectively]
