- AThe ratio of kinetic energy of the electron in the state n = m to the state, n = 1 is
- Bm = 2
- C
- De = 418 nm

Correct answer: A, B
- Use hydrogen energy levels
For hydrogen,
The atom absorbs a photon and goes from to . So absorbed energy is
Hence,
Given so
Therefore emitted photon energy is
- Find the final state
Emission occurs from to . Thus,
Set this equal to eV:
Divide by :
So,
So option B is correct.
- Check option A: ratio of kinetic energies
In Bohr model, kinetic energy in level is
Thus, Since ,
So option A is correct.
- Check option C: momentum change ratio
Photon momentum magnitude is
Since atom is initially free, momentum change due to absorption equals absorbed photon momentum:
Similarly for emission,
Hence,
So it is not . Thus option C is incorrect.
- Check option D: emitted wavelength
We already have with
Therefore,
So option D ( nm) is incorrect.
(Also, for transition in hydrogen, Balmer line is about nm, consistent with this.)
- Final answer
Correct options are:
This matches the stored correct answer.
