Q. An electron in a hydrogen atom makes a transition $n_{1} \rightarrow n_{2}$ where $n_{1}$ and $n_{2}$ are principle quantum numbers of the two states. Assume the Bohr model to be valid. The time period of the electron in the initial state is eight times that in the final state. The possible values of $n_{1}$ and $n_{2}$ are :

Atoms

Solution:

Time period of electron in an orbit is directly proportional to the cube of the quantum number
