An electron approaches a fixed proton from a large distance with a kinetic energy of 12.2 eV. The electron gets captured by the proton to form a hydrogen atom in an excited state and a photon of wavelength `lambda_(1) = 796 Å` is emitted. Later, the hydrogen atom de-excites by emitting a single photon of wavelength `lambda_(2)`. Find `lambda_(2)`. [Take `h = 6.62 xx 10^(– 34) Js, c = 3 xx 108 m//s`]

The electron in a hydrogen atom jumps back from an excited state to ground state, by emitting a photon of wavelength lambda_(0) = (16)/(15R) , where R is Rydbergs's constant. In place of emitting one photon, the electron could come back to ground state by

An electron and proton are separated by a large distance. The electron starts approaching the proton with energy 3 eV. The proton captures the electrons and forms a hydrogen atom in second excited state. The resulting photon is incident on a photosensitive metal of threshold wavelength 4000Å What is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectron?

Electron in hydrogen atom first jumps from third excited state to second excited state and then form second excited state to first excited state. The ratio of wavelength lambda_(1): lambda_(2) emitted in two cases is
