  1. ​An electron of a stationary hydrogen atom passes from the fifth energy level to the ground level. The velocity that the atom acquired as a result of photon emission will be :​
    (m is the mass of the electron, R, Rydberg constant and h Planck’s constant)
    1. 24hR
      25m
    2. 25hR
      24m
    3. 25m
      24hR
    4. 24m
      25hR
Correct Option: A

For emission, the wave number of the radiation is given as

1
= RZ2
