A gas of identical hydrogen-like atoms has some atoms in the lowest in lower (ground) energy level `A` and some atoms in a partical upper (excited) energy level `B` and there are no atoms in any other energy level.The atoms of the gas make transition to higher energy level by absorbing monochromatic light of photon energy `2.7 e V`.
Subsequenty , the atom emit radiation of only six different photon energies. Some of the emitted photons have energy `2.7 e V` some have energy more , and some have less than `2.7 e V`.
a Find the principal quantum number of the intially excited level `B`
b Find the ionization energy for the gas atoms.
c Find the maximum and the minimum energies of the emitted photons.

Answer

`[(i)2, (ii) 37.8 eV, 1.96 eV, (iii) 40.32 eV]`
