The wavelength of `k_(alpha) ` X- rays produced by an X - rays tube is `0.76 Å` . The atomic number of the anode material of the tube is …….

Answer» `K_(alpha)` X-ray are produced when an electron makes a transition from `n = 2 to n = 1` to fill a vacancy in `K` shell . The wavelength of X-ray lines is given by
`(1)/(lambda_(K_alpha)) = R(Z - 1)^(2) ((1)/(1^(2)) - (1)/(2^(2))) = (3)/(4) R(Z - 1)^(2)` or `(Z - 1)^(2) = (4)/(3 R lambda_(K_alpha))`
`= (4)/(3 xx (1.097 xx 10^(7)) xx (0.76 xx 10^(-10)))`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
When wavelength is maximum, the energy is maximum. Hence, this is from the ground state to the first excited state, for which the energy is `13.6 eV - 3.4 eV = 10.2 eV`
hence, the required wavelength is `122 nm`
The next possibility is to jump from the ground state to the second excited state which requires `=m 13.6 xx 1.5 = 12.1 eV`.
Hence, it correcponding to a wavelength
`lambda = ( c)/(v) = (hc)/(E_(3) - E_(1)) = ((6.63 xx 10^(-34)) xx(3 xx 10^(8)))/((12.1) xx (1.6 xx 10^(-19))) = 103 nm`

(c ) the change in the angular momentum of the electron in the hydrogen atom, in the above transition, and (d) the recoil speed of the emitting atom assuming it to be at rest before the transition. (lonization potential of hydrogen is 13.6 eV.)

Answer» `E_(K) = 0.73 e V, W = 1.82 e V`
Lonization energy of `H` atom `= 13.6 e V`
a. `hv = W + E_(K) = 1.82 e V = + 0.73 e V = 2.55 e V`
b. The electronic energy levels of `H` -atom are given by
`E_(n) = - (Rhc)/(n^(2)) = - (13.6)/(n^(2)) e V`
`For n = 1, E_(1) = - 13.6 e V`
`For n = 2, E_(2) = - 3.4 e V`
`For n = 3, E_(3) = - 1.51 e V`
`For n = 4, E_(4) = - 0.85 e V`
Clearly `E_(4) - E_(2) = - 0.85 e V - (-3.4 e V) = 2.55 e V`
i.e. Quantum of electron in `H` atom
`J = n (h)/(2 pi)`
For `n = 4 J_(1) = 4 (h)/(2 pi) = (2 h)/(pi)`
For `n = 2 J_(2) = 2 (h)/(2 pi) = (2 h)/(pi)`
Therefore change angular momentum, `Delta J = J_(1) - J_(2) = (2h)/( pi) - (h)/(pi) = (h)/(pi)`
d. According to conservation of momentum,
`(hc)/(c) + mv = 0`
`:. v = - (hc)/(cm) = - (2.55)/((3 xx 10^(8)) xx (1.67 xx 10^(-27))`
`= - (2.55 xx 1.6 xx 10^(-19))/(3 xx 10^(8) xx 1.67 xx 10^(-27))`
`= - 0.814 m s^(-1)`
Therefore , recoil speed of `H` atom `= 0.814 m s^(-1)`

Light form a dicharge tube containing hydrogen atoms falls on the surface of a piece of sodium. The kinetic energy of the fastest photoelectrons emitted from sodium is 0.73 eV. The work function for sodium is 1.82 eV. Find (a) the energy of the photons causing the photoelectrons emission. (b) the quantum numbers of the two levels involved in the emission of these photons. (c ) the change in the angular momentum of the electron in the hydrogen atom, in the above transition, and (d) the recoil speed of the emitting atom assuming it to be at rest before the transition. (lonization potential of hydrogen is 13.6 eV.)A. `4 to 2`B. `3 to 1`C. `3 to 2`D. `4 to 3`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`E_(n) = (-13.6 z^(2))/(n^(2)) eV`
`E_(1) = - 13.6 eV`
`E_(2) = - 3.4 eV`
`E_(3) = - 1.51 eV`
`E_(4) = - 0.85 eV`
`E_(4) - E_(2) = (0.85) - (-3.4) = 2.55 eV`

Assertion: According to classical theory, the proposed path of an electron in Rutherford atom model will be parabolic. Reason: According to electromagnetic theory an accelerated particel continuosly emits radiation.A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.C. If assertion is true but reason is false.D. If assertion is false but reason is true.

Answer» Correct Answer - D
According to classical electromagnetic theory, an accelerated change continuously emits radiation. As electron revolving in circular paths are constantly experiencing centripetal acceleration, hence they will be losing their energy continuously and the orbital radius will go on decreasing and from spiral and finally the electron will fall on the nucleus.

Calculate (a) the wavelength and (b) the frequencey of the `Hbeta` line of the Balmer series for hydrogen.

Answer» a. `H_(beta)` line of Balmer series corrresponds to the transition from `n = 4` to `n = 2`level . The corrresponds wavelength for `H_(beta)` line is ` (1)/(lambda) = (1.097 xx 10^(7)) [(1)/(2^(2)) - (1)/(4^(2))]`
`= 0.2056 xx 10^(7) m`
`lambda = 4.9 xx 10^(-7)) m` ltrbgt b. `f = (c )/(lambda) = (3.0 xx 10^(8))/(4.9 xx 10^(-7))`
`= 6.12 xx 10^(14) Hz`

The electron in a hydrogen atom makes a transition from an excited state to the ground state. Which of the following statements is true?A. Its Kinetic energy increase and its potential and total energies decreaseB. Its Kinetic energy decrease , potential energy increases and its total remian the sameC. Its Kinetic and total energies decrease and its potential energy increasesD. Its Kinetic , potential and total energies decrease

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Kitnetic energy `(K.E)=(13.6z^(2))/(n^(2)eV)`
Ptential `(P.E)=(-2(13.6)z^(2))/n^(2)eV`
Total energy `(T.E) =(-13.6z^(2))/n^(2)eV` When an electron in H-atom makes a transition from an excited state to the ground state, value of n decrease, hence `K.E` & `T.E`. decrease

The electron in a hydrogen atom makes a transition from an excited state to the ground state. Which of the following statements is true?A. Its kinetic energy increases and its potential and total energies decrease.B. Its kinetic energy decreases, potential increases and its total energy remain tha sameC. Its kinetic energy and total energies decrease, and its potential, energy increases.D. Its kinetic potential and total energies decrease.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
We know that as the electron comes nearer to the nucleus, the potential energy decrease ((-KZe^(2))/( r) = PE and - r decreases))`
The `KE will increase [:. KE = (1)/(2) |PE| = (1)/(2) KZe^(2))/( r)]`
The Total energy decrease [TE = (1)/(2) KZe^(2))/( r)]`

The electron in a hydrogen atom makes a transition from an excited state to the ground state. Which of the following statements is true?A. Its kinetic energy increases and its potential and total energies decreaseB. Its kinetic energy decreases, potential energy increases and its total energy remains the sameC. Its kinetic and total energies decreases and its potential energy increasesD. Its kinetic, potential and total energies decrease

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`E_(k) = (ke^(2))/(2r)`
`E_(p) = (ke^(2))/(2r)`
As the hydrogen atom makes transition to the ground state, `r` dereases.
`E_(k)` increases, `E_(p)` and `E` decrease.
