A hydrogen atom in an excited state emits a photon which has the longest wavelength of the Paschen series . Further emissions from the atom cannot include the :

An electron collides with a fixed hydrogen atom in its ground state. Hydrogen atom gets excited and the colliding electron loses all its kinetic energy. Consequently the hydrogen atom may emit a photon corresponding to the largest wavelength of the Balmer series. The K.E. of colliding electron will be

A stationary hydrogen atom in the first excited state emits a photon. If the mass of the hydrogen atom is m and its ionization energy is E, then the recoil velocity acquired by the atom is [speed of light = c]

If the shortest wavelength in Lyman series of hydrogen atom is A, then the longest wavelength in Paschen series of He^(+) is:

Whenever a hydrogen atom emits a photon in the Balmer series
