Find (a) the kinetic energy of the electrons, (b) Work function of the metal , and (c) wavelength of radiation. |
Answer» When charged particle moves perpendicular to a magnetic field , then magneticfield provides necessary centripetel force for circle path of radius`r` given by `(m v^(2))/( r) = q v B` `implies m v = q B r` As momentum, `p = mv = sqrt(2 m E_(K))`, where `E_(K)` is kinetic energy , therefore `sqrt(2 m E_(K)) = qBr` `:. E_(k) = ((qBr)^(2))/(2 m)` `{1.6 xx 10^(-19) xx ((1)/(320)) xx 10^(-3)}^(2)/(2 xx 9.1 xx 10^(-31) J` `= 1.374 xx 10^(-19)J = (1.374 xx 10^(-19))/(1.6 xx 10^(-19)) e V` `= 0.86 e V` Energy of photon released due to transition from `n = 3 to n = 2` in hydrogen atom. `epsilon = Delta E` `= Rhc ((1)/(n_(1)^(2)) - (1)/(n_(2)^(2))) = (13.6 e V) ((1)/(2^(2)) - (1)/(3^(2)))` `= 1.89 e V` Work function of metal `W = epsilon - E_(k) = 1.89 - 0.86 = 1.03 e V` c. Wavelength of emitted radition (photon) is given by `Delta E = (hc)/(lambda)` `implies lambda = (hc)/(Delta E) = (6.62 xx 10^(-34) xx 3 xx 10^(8))/(1.89 xx 1.6 xx 10^(-19))` `= 6.567 xx 10^(-7) m = 6567Å` |

(Bohr radius of hydrogen `=5xx10^(11)m,1` Rydberg `=2.2xx10^(16)J`) |
Answer» Correct Answer - `12` (a) In energy units, `1` rydberg `=13.6 eV`. The energy needed to detach the electron is `4xx13.6 eV`. The energy in the ground state is, therefore, `E_(1) = -4xx13.6 eV`. The energy of the first excited state `(n=2)` is `E_(2)=(E_(1))/(4)=13.6 eV. DeltaE=40.8 eV`. The wavelength of the radiation emitted is `lambda=(hc)/(DeltaE)` (b) The energy of a hydrogen-like ion in ground state is `E=Z^(2)E_(0)` where `Z=` atomic number and `E_(0) = -13.6 eV`. Thus, `Z=2`. The radius of th first orbit is `(a_(0))/(Z)` where `a_(0)=5xx10^(-11)m`. Thus, `r=(a_(0))/(Z)=2.5xx10^(-11)m` |

A `He^(+)` ion is at rest and is in ground state. A necutron with intial kinetic energy`K` collides heads on with the `He^(+)` ion. Find minimum value of `K` so that there can be an inelastic collision between these two particals. |
Answer» Here the loss during the collision can only be used to excite the atoms or electrons So , according to quantum mechaincs possible losses can be `{0, 40.8 e V, 48.36 e V}` (i) from `E_(n) = - 13.6 e V (Z^(2))/(n^(2))` Now according to Newtonion mechanics. Minimum loss `= 0`. Maximum loss will be for perfectly inelclastic collision. Let `v_(0)` be the inital speed of neutron and `v_(f)` be the final common speed So, by momentum conservation : `m v_(0) = m v_(f) + 4m v_(f) implies v_(f) = (v_(0))/(5)` where `m = "mass of meutron and mass of" He^(+)` ion =` 4 m`. Final kinetic energy of system: `KE = (1)/(2) m v_(f)^(2) + (1)/(2) 4 m v_(f)^(2)` `= (1)/(2) (5 m) = v_(0)^(2)/(25) = (1)/(5) ((1)/(2) m v_(0)^(2)) = (K)/(5)` maximum loss `= K - (K)/(5) = (4K)/(5)` So , loss will be `[0 (4K)/(5)]` For inelastic collition, there should be at least one common value other than zero in Eqs. (i) and (ii) `:. (4K)/(5) gt 40.8 e V implies K gt 51 e V` Hence maximum value of `K` for an inelastic collision , `K_(min) = 51 e V`. |

Answer» Correct Answer - A Max . Loss In `KE` of the system take place in perfectly inelastic collision . From conservation of linear momentum ` "mu"+0=(m+M)VRightarrow=("mu")/(m+M) ` Max. loss in `KE` ` DeltaK=1/2"mu"^(2)-1/2(M+m)V^(2)=1/2"mu"^(2)(M/(M+m))` For both to get excited to their excited states, energy required is `DeltaE=10.2+10.2xx4=51eV`. therefore For both to get excited ` DeltaKgeDeltaERightarrow1/2"mu"^(2)(M/(M+m))geDeltaE` `Rightarrow 1/2"mu"geDeltaE(M+m)/m eVRightarrowKE_(min)=DeltaE(1+m/M)` ` i.e KE_(min)=51(1+1/4)=63.75eV` |

A neutron moving with speed a makes a heat on collision with a hydrogen atom in ground state kept at rest .Find the minimum kinetic energy of the neutron for which inelastic (completely or partially) collision may take plane at the mass of neutron = mass of hydrogen `= 1.67 xx 10^(-27) kg` |
Answer» Suppose the neutron and hydrogen atom move at speed `v_(1)` and `v_(2)` after the collision. The collision on will be inelastic if a part of the kinetic energy is used to excite the atom. Suppose an energy `DeltaE` is used in this way. Using conservation of linear momentum and energy. `mv=mv_(1)+mv_(2)`.....(i) and `(1)/(2)mv^(2)=(1)/(2)mv_(1)^(2)+(1)/(2)mv_(2)^(2)+DeltaE`......(ii) From (i), `v^(2)=v_(1)^(2)+v_(2)^(2)+2v_(1)v_(2)`, From (ii) `v^(2)=v_(1)^(2)+v_(2)^(2)+(2DeltaE)/(m)` thus,`2v_(1)v_(2)=(2DeltaE)/(m)` Here, `(v_(1)-v_(2))^(2)-4v_(1)v_(2)=v^(2)-(4DeltaE)/(m)` As `v_(1)-v_(2)` must be real, `v^(2)-(4DeltaE)/(m) gt 0` or `(1)/(2)mv^(2) gt 2DeltaE` The minimum energy that can be absorbed by the hydrogen atom in ground state to go in an excited state is `10.2 eV`. Thus, the minimum kinetic energy of the nerutron needed for an inelastic collision is `(1)/(2)mv_(min)^(2)=2xx10.2eV=20.4 eV` |

Answer» Correct Answer - B Let V=speed of neutron before collision `v_(1)`=speed of neutron after collision ` v_(2)`= speed of proton or hydrogen atom after collision and `DeltaE`= energy of exitation. From conservation of linear momentum `mv=mv_(1)+mv_(2)` ...(1) From conservation of energy ` 1/2mv^(2)=1/2mv_(1)^(2)+1/2mv_(2)^(2)+DeltaE` ...(2) from `1`and `2`As `v_(1)-v_(2)` must be real `v^(2)-4(DeltaE)/mge0` ` Rightarrow1/2mv^(2)=2DeltaE=2xx10.2=20.4eV` |

A neutron moving with a speed `v` makes a head-on collision with a hydrogen in ground state kept at rest which inelastic collision will be take place is (assume that mass of photon is nearly equal to the mass of neutron)A. `10.2 eV`B. `20.4 eV`C. `12.1 eV`D. `16.8 eV` |
Answer» Correct Answer - B Let `v = ` speed of neutron before collision, `v_(1) = ` speed of neutron after collision, `v_(2) = ` speed of photon or hydrogen atom after collision, and `Delta E=` energy of excitation From conservartion of linear momentum, `mv = mv_(1) + mv_(2)` (i) From conservation of energy `(1)/(2) mv^(3) = (1)/(2) mv_(1)^(2) + (1)/(2) mv_(2)^(2) + Delta E` (ii) From eq. (i), `v^(2) = v_(1)^(2) + v_(2)^(2) + 2 v_(1) v_(2)` From eq. (ii), `v^(2) = v_(1)^(2) + v_(2)^(2) + (2 Delta E)/(m)` `:. 2 v_(1) v_(2) = (2 Delta E)/(m)` `:. (v_(1) - v_(2))^(2) = (v_(1) + v_(2))^(2) - 4v_(1) v_(2)` `implies (v_(1) - v_(2))^(2) = V^(2) - 4 (Delta E)/(m)` As `v_(1) - v_(2)` must be real, therefore `v^(2) - 4 (Delta E)/(m) ge 0` or `(1)/(2) mv^(2) ge 2 Delta E` The minimum energy that can be obsorbed by hydrogen atom in the ground state go to into excited is `10.2 eV`. Therefore, `(1)/(2) mv_(min)^(2) = 2 xx 10.2 eV` `= 20.4 e V` |

When a particle is restricted to move along x-axis between `x=0` and `x=a`, where `alpha` if of nenometer dimension, its energy can take only certain specific values. The allowed energies of the particle moving in such a restricted region, correspond to the formation of standing waves with nodes at its ends `x=0` and `x=a`. The wavelength of this standing wave is related to the linear momentum p of the particle according to the de Broglie relation. The energy of the particle of mass m is related to its linear momentum as `E=(p^2)/(2m)`. Thus the energy of the particle can be denoted by a quantum number `n` taking values 1,2,3, ...(`n=1`, called the ground state) corresponding to the number of loops in the standing wave. Use the model described above to answer the following three questions for a particle moving along the line from `x=0` to `x=alpha`. Take `h=6.6xx10^(-34)Js` and `e=1.6xx10^(-19)` C. Q. If the mass of the particle is `m=1.0xx10^(-30)`kg and `alpha=6.6nm`, the energy of the particle in its ground state is closest toA. `0.8nmV`B. `8meV`C. `80meV`D. `800meV` |

A hydrogen atom in a state of binding energy` 0.55eV` make a trasisition to a state of excitation energy of `10.2 eV` (i) what is the initial state of hydrogen atom? (ii) what is the final state of hydrogen atom? (iii) what is the wavelength of the photon emitted? |
Answer» (i) Let `n_(1)` be initial state of electron. Then ` E_(1)=-(13.6)/(n_(1)^(2))eV`, Here `E_(1) =- 0.85 eV`, therefore` -0.85=-(13.6)/(n_(1)^(2))` or `n_(1)=4` (ii) Let `n_(2)` be the final excition state of the electron. Since excition energy is a always measured with respect to the ground state, therefore ` DeltaE =13.6[1-1/n_(2)^(2) ]` here `DeltaE = 10.2 eV`, therefore, `10.2 = 13.6 [1-(1)/(n_(2)^(2))]` or `n_(2)=2` Thus , the electron jump from `n_(1) =4 to n_(2) =2` . (iii) the wavelength of the photon emitted for a transition between `n_(1) =4 n_(2) =2`, given by ` 1/lambda=R_(oo)[1/n_(2)^(2)-1/n_(1)^2] (or) 1/lambda=1.09xx10^(7)[1/2^(2)-1/4^(2)]= `4860 Å` |
