    In hydrogen atom, electron makes transition from n=4 to n=1 level. Recoil momentum of the H atom will be [MP PMT 1994]

    A)            \[3.4\times {{10}^{-27}}N\text{-}\]sec                         

    B)            \[6.8\times {{10}^{-27}}N\text{-}\]sec

    C)            \[3.4\times {{10}^{-24}}N\text{-}\]sec                         

    D)            \[6.8\times {{10}^{-24}}N\text{-}\]sec

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       Recoil momentum = momentum of photon \[=\frac{h}{\lambda }\]            \[=hR\left( \frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}} \right)\]\[=\frac{hR\times 15}{16}=6.8\times {{10}^{-27}}N\times \sec \]
