Problem

In a mixture of H-He+\text{H-He}^+ gas ( He+\text{He}^+ is singly ionized He atom), H atoms and He+\text{He}^+ ions are excited to their respective first excited states. Subsequently, H atoms transfer their total excitation energy to He+\text{He}^+ ions (by collisions). Assume that the Bohr model of atom is exactly valid. The ratio of the kinetic energy of the n=2n = 2 electron for the H atom to that of He+\text{He}^+ ion is – a. 1/4 b. 1/2 c. 1 d. 2
