← In a singly ionised helium ion (He⁺, Z = 2), the electron jumps from the level n = 6 to the level n = 4 and emits a photon. A hydrogen atom emits a photon of exactly the same wavelength when its electron jumps to the level n = 2 from a higher level n. The value of this higher level n is ____.
A particle starts from rest at t = 0 and moves along a straight line. Its acceleration changes with time as shown in the graph: 4 m/s² for the first 2 s, zero for the next 2 s, and -2 m/s² for the 2 s after that. At t = 6 s, the velocity of the particle and the distance it has covered since t = 0 are →
