    Ans (a).
    Let ν1 be the orbital speed of the electron in a hydrogen atom in the ground state level, n1 = 1. For charge (e) of an electron, ν1 is given by the relation,

    ν1 = e²/n1 4π ε0 (h/2π) = e²/2 n1ε0h

    Where, e = 1.6 x 10⁻19 C

    ε0 = Permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10⁻12 N-1 C2 m2

    h = Planck’s constant = 6.62 x 10⁻³⁴ Js

    Therefore, ν1 = (1.6 x 10⁻19 )2 /2 x (8.85 x 10⁻12) x (6.62 x 10⁻³⁴)

    = 0.0218 x 10⁸ = 2.18 x 10⁶  m/s

    For level n2= 2 ,we can write the relation for the corresponding orbital speed as:

    ν2 = = e²/2 n2ε0h = (1.6 x 10⁻19 )2 /2 x 2 x(8.85 x 10⁻12) x (6.62 x 10⁻³⁴)

    =1.09 x 10⁶  m/s

    For level n3= 3 ,we can write the relation for the corresponding orbital speed as:

    ν3 = = e²/2 n3ε0h = (1.6 x 10⁻19 )2 /2 x 3 x (8.85 x 10⁻12) x (6.62 x 10⁻³⁴)

    =7.27 x 10⁵ m/s

    Hence, the speed of the electron in a hydrogen atom in n = 1, n=2, and n=3 is 2.18 x 106 m/s, 1.09 x 106 m/s, 7.27 x 105 m/s respectively.

    Ans (b).

    Let T1 be the orbital period of the electron when it is in level n1 = 1.

    Orbital period is related to orbital speed as:

    T1 = 2π r/ν1

    Where,r1 = Radius of the orbit =( n1)²h²ε0/πme²

    h = Planck’s constant = 6.62 x 10⁻³⁴ Js and

    e = Charge on an electron = 1.6 x 10⁻19 C.

    ε0 = Permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10⁻12 N⁻1C2 m⁻² 

    m = Mass of an electron = 9.1 x 10⁻31 kg

    Therefore, T1 = 2π r1/ν1

    = 2π x (1)² x (6.62 x 10⁻³⁴)² x (8.85 x 10⁻12)/[(2.18 x 10⁶) x  π x ( 9.1 x 10⁻31) x (1.6 x 10⁻19)² ]

    = 15.27 x 10⁻¹⁷ = 1.527 x 10⁻¹⁶ s

    For level n2 = 2, we can write the period as:

    T2 = 2π r2/ν2

    Where, r2 = Radius of the electron in n2 = 2

    = (n2)²h²ε0/πme²

    Therefore,T2 =2π r2/ν2

    =2π x (2)² x (6.62 x 10⁻³⁴)² x (8.85 x 10⁻12)/[(1.09 x 10⁶) x  π x ( 9.1 x 10⁻31) x (1.6 x 10⁻19)² ]

    =1.22 x 10⁻¹⁵ s

    For level n3 = 3, we can write the period as:

    T3 = 2π r3/ν3

    Where, r3 = Radius of the electron in n3 = 3

    = (n3)²h²ε0/πme²

    Therefore,T3 =2π r3/ν3

    =2π x (3)² x (6.62 x 10⁻³⁴)² x (8.85 x 10⁻12)/[(7.27 x 10⁵) x  π x ( 9.1 x 10⁻31) x (1.6 x 10⁻19)² ]

    =4.12 x 10⁻¹⁵ s

    Hence, the orbital period in each of these levels is 1.527 x 10⁻¹⁶, 1.22 x 10⁻¹⁵ s, and 4.12 x 10⁻¹⁵ s respectively.

    For ground level, n₁ = 1

    Let E₁be the energy of this level. It is known that E₁ is related with m as:

    E₁ =-13.6/n²₁ eV

    = -13.6 /1² = -13.6 eV

    The atom is excited to a higher level, n2 = 4. Let E2 be the energy of this level.
    The amount of energy absorbed by the photon is given as:
    Therefore E2 =-13.6/n²2 eV 
                              =-13.6/4² = -13.6 /16 eV

    The amount of energy absorbed by the photon is given as :

    E = E2-E1

    = -13.6 /16 -(-13.6 ) 

    = 13.6 x 15/16  eV

    = 13.6 x 15/16 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 2.04 x 10⁻¹⁸ J

    For a photon of wavelength λ, the expression of energy is written as:

    E = hc/λ

    Where,

    h = Planck’s constant = 6.6 x 10⁻34 Js and c = Speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s.

    Therefore , λ = hc/E = (6.6 x 10⁻34) x (3 x 10⁸ ) /(2.04 x 10⁻¹⁸ )

    = 9.7 x 10⁻⁸ m = 97nm

    And, frequency of a photon is given by the relation,

    ν =c/ λ  = (3 x 10⁸)/(9.7 x 10⁻⁸)  ≈ 3.1 x 10¹⁵ Hz

    Hence, the wavelength of the photon is 97 nm while the frequency is 3.1 x 10¹⁵ Hz.
