n = 2 to n = 1
For the transition in the hydrogen-like atom, the wavelength of the emitted radiation is calculated by
`1/lamda = RZ^2 (1/n^1 - 1/n^2)`
Here, R is the Rydberg constant.
For the transition from n = 5 to n = 4, the wavelength is given by
`1/lamda = RZ^2 (1/4^2 - 1/5^2)`
`lamda = 400/(9RZ^2)`
For the transition from n = 4 to n = 3, the wavelength is given by
`1/lamda = RZ^2 (1/3^2 - 1/4^2)`
`lamda = (144)/ (7RZ^2)`
For the transition from n = 3 to n = 2, the wavelength is given by
`1/lamda = RZ^2 (1/2^2 - 1/3^2 )`
`lamda = (36)/(5RZ^2)`
For the transition from n = 2 to n = 1, the wavelength is given by
`1/lamda = RZ^2 (1/2^2 - 1/3^2)`
`lamda = 2/(RZ^2)`
From the above calculations, it can be observed that the wavelength of the radiation emitted for the transition from n = 2 to n = 1 will be minimum.

Classically, an electron can be in any orbit around the nucleus of an atom. Then what determines the typical atomic size? Why is an atom not, say, a thousand times bigger than its typical size? The question had greatly puzzled Bohr before he arrived at his famous model of the atom that you have learnt in the text. To simulate what he might well have done before his discovery, let us play as follows with the basic constants of nature and see if we can get a quantity with the dimensions of length that is roughly equal to the known size of an atom (~ 10−10 m).
(a) Construct a quantity with the dimensions of length from the fundamental constants e, me, and c. Determine its numerical value.
(b) You will find that the length obtained in (a) is many orders of magnitude smaller than the atomic dimensions. Further, it involves c. But energies of atoms are mostly in non-relativistic domain where c is not expected to play any role. This is what may have suggested Bohr to discard c and look for ‘something else’ to get the right atomic size. Now, the Planck’s constant h had already made its appearance elsewhere. Bohr’s great insight lay in recognising that h, me, and e will yield the right atomic size. Construct a quantity with the dimension of length from h, me, and e and confirm that its numerical value has indeed the correct order of magnitude.
If Bohr’s quantisation postulate (angular momentum = nh/2π) is a basic law of nature, it should be equally valid for the case of planetary motion also. Why then do we never speak of quantisation of orbits of planets around the sun?

When a photon is emitted from an atom, the atom recoils. The kinetic energy of recoil and the energy of the photon come from the difference in energies between the states involved in the transition. Suppose, a hydrogen atom changes its state from n = 3 to n = 2. Calculate the fractional change in the wavelength of light emitted, due to the recoil.
Consider an excited hydrogen atom in state n moving with a velocity υ(ν<<c). It emits a photon in the direction of its motion and changes its state to a lower state m. Apply momentum and energy conservation principles to calculate the frequency ν of the emitted radiation. Compare this with the frequency ν0 emitted if the atom were at rest.
