    A stationary hydrogen atom emits photon corresponding to the first line of Lyman series. If R is the Rydbergs constant and \[m\] is the mass of the atom, then the velocity acquired by the atom is (neglect energy absorbed by the photon)

    A) \[\frac{4m}{Rh}\]

    B)  \[\frac{Rh}{4m}\]

    C)  \[\frac{3Rh}{4m}\]

    D)  \[\frac{4m}{3Rh}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     For first line of Lyman series, \[\frac{1}{\lambda }=R\left( \frac{1}{{{1}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{2}^{2}}} \right)=R\left( 1-\frac{1}{4} \right)=\frac{3}{4}R\] Again we have momentum, \[p=mv\]or \[\frac{h}{\lambda }=mv\]or \[v=\frac{h}{m\lambda }\] Putting the value of \[\lambda ,\] we have \[v=\frac{h}{m}\left( \frac{3}{4}R \right)=\frac{3hR}{4m}\]
