Hydrogen \(({ }_1 \mathrm{H}^1)\), Deuterium \(({ }_1 \mathrm{H}^2)\), singly ionised Helium \(({ }_2 \mathrm{He}^4)^+\) and doubly ionised lithium \(({ }_3 \mathrm{Li}^6)^{++}\) all have one electron around the nucleus. Consider an electron transition from \(n=2 \) to \(n=1 \). If the wavelengths of emitted radiation are \(\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\lambda_3\) and \(\lambda_4\) respectively then approximately which one of the following is correct?
1. \( \lambda_1=2 \lambda_2=2 \lambda_3=\lambda_4 \)

As an electron makes a transition from an excited state to the ground state of a hydrogen-like atom/ion:

1. its kinetic energy increases but potential energy and total energy decrease
2. kinetic energy, potential energy and total energy decrease
3. kinetic energy decreases, potential energy increases but total energy remains same
4. kinetic energy and total energy decrease but potential energy increases

An electron from various excited states of hydrogen atom emit radiation to come to the ground state. Let \(\lambda_n,\lambda_g\) be the de Broglie wavelength of the electron in the \(n^{\text{th}}\) state and the ground state respectively. Let \(\Lambda_n\) be the wavelength of the emitted photon in the transition from the \(n^{\text{th}}\) state to the ground state. For large \(n\), (\(A,B\) are constants)
1. \( \Lambda_{{n}} \approx {A}+\frac{{B}}{\lambda_{{n}}^2} \)
2. \( \Lambda_{{n}} \approx {A}+{B} \lambda_{{n}} \)
3. \( \Lambda_{{n}}{ }^2 \approx {A}+{B} \lambda_{{n}}{ }^2 \)
4. \(\Lambda_{{n}}{ }^2 \approx \lambda \)
