Detailed Solution

For fifth energy level, n2=5  and for ground level,  n1=1. The wavelength λ of radiation emitted is given by 
 1λ=Rz2(1n121n22)=R×12(112152)=24R25
Linear momentum of photon emitted 
 p=hλ=h×24R25
As hydrogen atom is stationary, therefore momentum acquired by electron as a result of photon emission =mv=p=24hR25
v=24hR25m
