Expression for recoil velocity of hydrogen atom during electron transition

bksree

Hi all
How does one calculate the recoil velocity of a hydrogen atom when the electron in it jumps from a higher orbit to a lower orbit (say from 3rd to 1st) ?

Vanadium 50

What is the energy of the photon?
What is the momentum of the photon?
What is the momentum of the atom?
What is the velocity of the atom?
