Calculate the ratio of wavelength of radiation emitted when an electron jumps from third orbit of to the ground state and fifth orbit of to the ground state.

One electron is made to revolve around a proton and it possesses the least possible energy and another electron is made to revolve around an particle with the same energy. Calculate the ratio of the distances of the electrons from the respective species.

An electron is present in a hydrogen atom in the ground state and another electron is present in a single electron species of beryllium. In both the species the distance between the nucleus and electron is same. Calculate the difference in their energies.

Two electronic transitions were found to take place in a single electron species. One is deactivation of electron from the fifth shell to the fourth shell and the other is from the second shell to the first shell. Do the energies emitted due to the above transitions have the same wavelength? Justify.
