A set of atoms in an excited state decays
(a) In general to any of the states with lower energy
(b) Into a lower state only when excited by an external electric field
(c) All together simultaneously into a lower state
(d) To emit photons only when they collide.

Kindly go through the solution 

Change in surface energy = work done

$\left|\Delta E_0\right|=\left(-136\left\{1-\frac{1}{4}\right\}\right)eV$

|DE₀| = –10.2

$\lambda =\frac{12400}{10.2}\times 10^{-10}m$

$\rho =\frac{h}{\lambda }=\frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 10.2}{12400\times 10^{-10}}$                  

$?$ $mv=\frac{h}{\lambda }$            

  $1.8\times 10^{-27}$           

$v=\frac{6.63\times 10.2\times 10^{-34}}{12400\times 10^{-10}}$

$v=\frac{6.63\times 10.2}{12400\times 1.8}\times 10^3$            

$=\frac{6.63\times 102}{124\times 1.8}=3.02$ ]

= 3 m/s

$-0.85=\frac{-13.6}{n^2}$  

n = 4

Number of transitions = $\frac{4\times 3}{2}=6$
