A stationary hydrogen atom undrgoes a transition from n=5 to n=4. Recoil speed of the atom is (R=Rydberg constant, h=Planck's constant and m=mass of the proton.)

Answer»

`(Rh)/(m)`
`(9m)/(400 Rh)`
`(9Rh)/(400m)`
`(7 Rh)/(400)`

Solution :For transition`5rarr4`,
MOMENTUM of PHOTON,`p=h/(lambda)=hR(1/16-1/25)`
and RECOIL speed, `v=p/m=(hR(1/16-1/25))/(m)=(9hR)/(400m)`
