Spectrum of Hydrogen and Hydrogen Like Atoms
Bohrs Model of Atom
Question

The electron in a hydrogen atom makes a transition n1 → n2 where n1 and n2 are the principal quantum number of the two states. Assume the Bohr model to be valid. The time period of electron in the initial state is eight times that of the final state. The possible values of n1 and n2 are

n1 = 8, n2 = 1

n1 = 8, n2 = 2

n1 = 6, n2 = 3

n1 = 4, n2 = 2

T =2πrv

mvr = n(h/2π)

T =(4π2mnh)r2

r = n2 (h2ε0πme2)

T =n3(4h3ε02me4)
