Problem

A hydrogen like atom (described by the Bohr model) is observed to emit ten wavelengths, originating from all possible transitions between a group of levels. These levels have energies between −0.85 eV-0.85 \text{ eV} and −0.544 eV-0.544 \text{ eV} (including both these values). (a) Find the atomic number of the atom. (b) Calculate the smallest wavelength emitted in these transitions. (Take ground state energy of hydrogen atom = −13.6 eV-13.6 \text{ eV} )
