A free hydrogen atom after absorbing a photon of wavelengthλagets excited from the staten=1to the staten=4.Immediately after that the electron jumps ton=mstate by emitting a photon of wavelengthλe.Let the change in momentum of atom due to the absorption and the emission areΔpaandΔpe,respectively. Ifλaλe=15.Which of the option(s) is/are correct?
[Usehc=1242eVnm,1nm=10-9m,handcare Planck's constant and speed of light, respectively]

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
B, C
Solution:

Energy for transition of electron from one orbit to other is given by-
E2-E1=13.6Z21n12-1n22=hcλ
1λ=13.6hc.Z21n12-1n22
Now as per question
1λa=13.6hc.Z2112-142
and1λe=13.6hc.Z21m2-142
λeλa=1-1161m2-116=15m2 16-m2
Butλaλe=15given
16-m215 m2=1516-m2=3m2
m2=4
m=2 Cis correct
Now,
1λe=13.6hc.Z21m2-116
=13.61242×114-116 as hc=1242 and z=1
λe=124213.6×163=487 nm Ais incorrect
Now, kinetic energy of electron
K1n2
K2K1=1222=14Bis correct
Also,P=hλ
PaPe=λeλa=5
Dis incorrect.
