Question diagram: The recoil speed of a hydrogen atom after it emits a photon

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

ΔE Releases when photon going from n=5 to n=ΔE

=13.6-0.54 eV=13.06 eV

Pi=Pf (By linear momentum conservation)

0=hλ-Mv=VRecoil=hλM        ...1

& ΔE=hcλ=hcλM×MMcVRecoil

VRecoil =ΔEMc=13.06×1.6×10-191.67×10-27×3×108=4.17 m s-1
