Detailed Solution

Energy of photon liberated = loss in energy of electron

Ephoton selected=R[1N121N22]×hC

=RhC[112152]

Momentum of the Photon is 

P = EC = Rh2425

From Conservation of momentum :

 Initial momentum of system (atom + photon) = final momentum of system

0=P¯photons+p¯atoms

|Patom|=|Pphoton|

matomVatom=24Rh25

Vatom=24Rh25m
