A Bohr hydrogen atom at rest in free spa...

A Bohr hydrogen atom at rest in free space undergoes a transition from the energy level `n=2` to `n=1`, emitting a photon in the positive `x` direction. Since this photon has momentum, the atom must recoil in the negative `x` direction. Find the recoil velocity of the atom.
