A photon of energy \(10.2\) eV corresponds to light of wavelength \(\lambda_0\). Due to electron transition from \(n = 2 \) to \(n = 1\) in a hydrogen atom, light of wavelength \(\lambda\) is emitted. If we take into account the recoil of atom when photon is emitted then:
| 1. | \(\lambda = \lambda_0\) |
| 2. | \(\lambda < \lambda_0\) |
| 3. | \(\lambda > \lambda_0\) |
| 4. | data is not sufficient to reach a conclusion |
