Essential formulas: rnr_n = n2n^2a0a_0/Z (a0a_0 = 0.529 A). vnv_n = Zv0v_0/n (v0v_0 = c/137). EnE_n = -13.6*Z2Z^2/n2n^2 eV. LnL_n = nhbar (independent of Z). 1/lambda = RZ2Z^2*(1/nf2n_f^2 - 1/ni2n_i^2), R = 1.097 x 10^7 m1m^{-1}. KE = -E, PE = 2E (virial theorem). Spectral lines from level n: nn12\frac{n-1}{2}. First excitation energy = 10.2 eV. lambdaminlambda_{min} (X-ray) = 12400/V Angstrom.

JEE strategy: (1) For ratio problems, use proportionality relations (r proportional to n2n^2/Z, E proportional to Z2Z^2/n2n^2) — don't substitute numbers until the final step. (2) For spectral line problems, first determine which series (identify nfn_f), then apply Rydberg formula. (3) Remember nn12\frac{n-1}{2} for counting lines. (4) For hydrogen-like ion comparisons, find which transitions give matching energies using Z2Z^2(1/nf2n_f^2 - 1/ni2n_i^2). (5) For excitation problems, distinguish photon absorption (exact energy match required) from electron collision (any energy above threshold). (6) The Bohr model gives correct energies only for one-electron systems. (7) Angular momentum quantization L = nhbar is often the fastest route in problems. Modern physics topics contribute approximately 4% of JEE weightage, typically 1-2 MCQs.
