An electron in hydrogen atom after absorbing-an energy photon jumps from energy state n_(1) to n_(2) . Then it returns to ground state after emitting six different wavelengths in emission spectrum.'The energy of emitted photons is either equal to, less than or grater than the absorbed photons: Then n_(1) and n_(2) are:

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 emits a photon corresponding to the largest wavelength of the Balmer series. The K.E. of colliding electron will be..
