Hydrogen atoms is a particular excited state 'n', when all returned to ground state, 6 different photons are emitted.Which of the followingis/are incorrect .

Answer»

out of 6 different PHOTONS only2 photons have speed equal to that of visible light
If highest energy photon emitted from the above sample is incident on the metal plate having work function 8 eV, KE of liberated photo-electron may be equal to or less than 4.75 eV
Total number of radial nodes in all the orbitals of `n^(th)` shell is 14
Total number of angular nodes in all the orbitals in `(n-1)^(th)` shell is 13

Solution :number of photons emitted=6
So, `(n(n-1))/2=6, n=4`
excited state is `3^(rd)` or n=4
photon having highest energy will ge `4to1`
So, its energy will be `=13.6(1/1^2-1/4^2)=13.6xx15/16=12.75`
when it is incident on plate having work function 8 eV then
KE=12.75-8=4.75
KE will be equal to this VALUE or may be less if electron is inner electron.So OPTION (B) is correct.Option (A) is incorrect because all photon have equal velocitywhich is `3xx10^8m//s`
( C),(D) also incorrect because number of nodes in `n^(th)` & `(n-1)^(th)` shall are 6(Radial node) & 3 (Angular node) RESPECTIVELY.

Niels Bohr derived this expression theoretically in 1913. The formula is easily generalized to any one electron atom//ion. Determine the loest energy and the radius of the Bohr orbit of the muonic hydrogen atom. Ignore the motion of the nucleus in your calculation. The radius of the Bohr orbit of a hydrogen atom ("called the Bohr radius", a_(0)=(epsilon_(0)h^(2))/(m_(e)e^(2)prod) "is" 0.53 Å) The classical picture of an ''orbit'' in Bohr's theory has now been replaced by the quantum mechanical nation of an 'orbital'. The orbital psi 1 sigma 1s (r) for the ground state of a hydrogen atom is given by psi 1 s (r)=1/sqrt(proda_(0)^(3)) e^(r/a_(0)) where r is the distance of the electron from the nucleus and a_(0) is the Bohr radius.

Niels Bohr derived this expression theoretically in 1913. The formula is easily generalized to any one electron atom//ion. A formula analogous to Balmer's formula applies to the series of spectral lines which arise from transition from higher energy levels to the lowest energy level of hydrogen atom. Write this formula and use it to determine the ground state energy of a hydrogen atom in eV. A 'muonic hydrogen atom' is like a hydrogen atom in which the electron is replaced by a heavier particle, the muon. The mass of a muon is about 207 times the mass of an electron, while its charge is the same as that of an electron. A muon has a very short lifetime, but we ignore its ubstable nature here.
