An electron in hydrogen atom first jumps...

An electron in hydrogen atom first jumps from `n^(th)` excited state to `(n - 1)^(th)` excited state and then from `(n - 1)^(th)` excited state to `(n-2)^(th)` excited state. If the ratio of energy of photons emitted in these two cases is `(5)/(27),` then find the ratio ofmomentums.

A

`0.275`

B

`4.7`

C

`5.4`

D

`0.185`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Ratio of energy of photons `= (5)/(27) = E`
`E alpha (1)/(lamda ) (E = (hc )/(lamda )) and p prop E ` (since, `p = (E)/(C))`
Ratio of momentums = `(5)/(27) = 0.185`
