In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom,the linear momentum of the electron depends on the principal quantum number $n$ as:

The electron in a hydrogen atom makes a transition $n_1 \to n_2$,where $n_1$ and $n_2$ are the principal quantum numbers of the two states. Assume the Bohr model to be valid. The time period of the electron in the initial state is eight times that in the final state. The possible values of $n_1$ and $n_2$ are

In the Bohr model,an electron moves in a circular orbit around the nucleus. Considering an orbiting electron to be a circular current loop,the magnetic moment of the hydrogen atom,when the electron is in the $n^{th}$ excited state,is ($e=$ electronic charge,$m_{e}=$ mass of the electron,$h=$ Planck's constant).
