Electrons are emitted from an electron gun at almost zero velocity and are accelerated by an electric field E through a distance of 1.0 m. The electrons are now scattered by an atomic hydrogen sample in ground state. What should be the minimum value of E so that red light of wavelength 656.3 nm may be emitted by the hydrogen ?

Answer»

The given wavelength in Balmer series.

The first line, which requires minimum energy is from n1 = 3 to n2 = 2.

 The energy should be equal to the energy required for transition from ground state to n = 3.

i.e. E = 13.6 [1 – (1/9)] = 12.09 eV

 Minimum value of electric field = 12.09 v/m = 12.1 v/m

47.

The vernier scale of a travelling microscope has 50 divisions which coincide with 49 main scale divisions. If each main scale division is 0.5 mm. Calculate the minimum inaccuracy in the measurement of distance.

Answer»

Minimum inaccuracy = Vernier constant

= 1MSD - 1 VS.D

= 1 MSD - \(\frac{49}{50}\) MSD

\(\frac{1}{50}\)(0.5mm) = 0.01mm

The length of a rod as measured in an experiment was found to be 2.48 m, 2.46 m, 2.49 m, 2.50 m and 2.48 m. Find the average length, absolute error and percentage error. Express the result with error limit.

Answer»

Average length = \(\frac{2.48 + 2.46 + 2.49 + 2.50 + 2.48}{5}\) = \(\frac{12.41}{5}\) = 2.48 m

Mean absolute error = \(\frac{0.00+0.052+0.01+0.02+0.00}{5}\) = \(\frac{0.05}{5}\) = 0.01 m

percentage error = \(\frac{0.01}{2.48}\) x 100% = 0.04 x 100% = 0.40%

Correct length = (2.48 ± 0.01) m

Correct length = (2.48 m ± 0.40%)
