Solution
In the imaginary world, the angular momentum is quantized to be an even integral multiple of h/2 π.
Therefore, the quantum numbers that are allowed are n1 = 2 and n2 = 4
We have the longest possible wavelength for minimum energy.
Energy of the light emitted (E) is given by
`E = 13.6 (1/n_1^2 - 1/n_2^2)`
`E = 13.6 [ 1/(2)^2 - 1/(4)^2]`
`E = 13.6 (1/4 - 1/16)`
`E = (13.6xx12)/64 = 2.55 eV`
Equating the calculated energy with that of photon, we get
2.55 eV = `(hc)/lamda`
`lamda = (hc)/2.55 = 1242/2.55 nm`
= 487.05 nm= 487 nm

The inverse square law in electrostatics is |F| = `e^2/((4πε_0).r^2)` for the force between an electron and a proton. The `(1/r)` dependence of |F| can be understood in quantum theory as being due to the fact that the ‘particle’ of light (photon) is massless. If photons had a mass mp, force would be modified to |F| = `e^2/((4πε_0)r^2) [1/r^2 + λ/r]`, exp (– λr) where λ = mpc/h and h = `h/(2π)`.
