The wavelength of the photon emitted by a hydrogen atom when an electron makes a transition from n = 2 to n = 1 state is :

The electron in a hydrogen atom at rest makes a transition from n = 2 energy state to the n = 1 ground state. find the energy (eV) of the emitted photon.

The electron in a hydrogen atom at rest makes a transition from n = 2 energy state to the n = 1 ground state. Assuming that all of the energy corresponding to transition from n = 2 to n = 1 is carried off by the photon. By setting the momentum of the system (atom + photon) equal to zero after the emission and assuming that the recoil energy of the atom is smaller compared with the n = 2 to n = 1 energy level separation , find the energy of the recoiling hydrogen atom.

What are the (a) energy. (b) magnitude of the momentum, and (c) wavelength of the photon emitted when a hydrogen atom undergoes a transition from a state with n = 3 to a state with n = 1?

what are the frequency and wavelength of a photon emitted during a transition from n = 5 state to the n =2 state in the hydrogen atom?
