Hints & Explanations
Question 4.
(c) The radius of orbit of electrons = 10-10 m radius of nucleus = 10-15 m
Ratio = \(=\frac{10^{-10}}{10^{-15}}=10^{5}\)
Hence the radius of electron orbit is 105 times larger than the radius of nucleus.
Question 5.
Question 8.
(d) The wavelength for Paschen series,
Question 9.
(d) Wavelength for Balmer series is \(\frac{1}{\lambda}=R\left(\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1} at n = ∞, the limit of the series observed.
Question 10.
(c) The wavelength for Pfund series is given by
Question 15.
(c) Here, λL. = 1215 A, For the first line of Lyman series.
Question 20.
(a) According to Bohr’s second postulate Angular momentum, [latex]L=\frac{n h}{2 \pi}\)
Angular momentum is also called a moment of momentum.
For second orbit, n = 2 \(L=\frac{2 h}{2 \pi}=\frac{h}{\pi}\)
Question 23.
(c) The radius of nth orbit rn = n2 \(\frac{\hbar^{2} 4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}{m e^{2}}\) where \(\frac{\hbar^{2} 4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}{m e^{2}}=a_{0}[/ltaex] (Bohr radius)
Hence, rn = n2 a0.
Question 30.
(d) Since Bohr’s formula for energy in nth orbit is
Question 31.
(d) The energy level diagram schematically looks like this. As we move to higher and higher levels, the energy increases, but the energy gap between any two levels decreases. Hence in the transition from n = 4 to n = 3, energy released will be E4 – E3.
And in the transition from n = 2 to n – 1, energy released is E2 -E1.
Now as E4 – E3 < E2 – E1
Question 32.
(c) As rn = n2 a0
Here, a0 = 0.529 A and n = 3
.-. rn=3 = (3)3 a0 = 9 x 0.529A = 4.76lA
Question 33.
(b) Energy, \(E_{n}=-\frac{13.6}{n^{2}} \mathrm{eV}\)
Question 34.
(b) Radius of nlh orbit in hydrogen like atom is
\(r_{n}=\frac{a_{0} n^{2}}{Z}\)
where a0 is the Bohr’s radius For hydrogen atom, Z= 1
∴ r1 = a0 (∵ n = 1 for ground state) 2
For \(\mathrm{Be}^{3+}, \mathrm{Z}=4 ∴ r_{n}=\frac{a_{0} n^{2}}{4}\)
According to given problem \(r_{1}=r_{n} \Rightarrow a_{0}=\frac{n^{2} a_{0}}{4}\)
⇒ n = 2
Question 35.
(c) Here the ground state energy, (E) = – 13.6 eV
Since, K.E. of the electron = -E = 13.6 eV
= 13.6 x 1.6 x 10-19 J
= 21.76 x 10-19 J
= 2.18 x 10-18 J.
Question 36.
Question 37.
(c) Here, = 1, and n2 = 4
Energy of photon absorbed, E = E2 – E1
Question 38.
(c) According to Bohr’s model \(v=\frac{2 \mathrm{Ke}^{2} \mathrm{Z}}{n h} \text { or } v \propto \frac{1}{n}\)
Question 39.
Question 40.
(c) Speed of the electron in the ground state of hydrogen atom is
\(v=\frac{2 \pi e^{2}}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} h}=\frac{c}{137}=c \alpha\)
where, c = speed of light in vacuum, \(\alpha=\frac{e^{2}}{2 \varepsilon_{0} h c}\) the fine structure constant. It is a pure number whose value is \(\frac{1}{137}\).
∴ \(\frac{v}{c}=\frac{1}{137}\)
Question 41.
(c) The energy needed to remove one electron from the ground state of He = 24.6 eV.
As the He+ is now hydrogen-like, ionisation energy
\(=|-13.6| \frac{2^{2}}{1^{2}} \mathrm{eV} \Rightarrow \mathrm{E}=54.4 \mathrm{eV}\)
∴ To remove both the electrons, energy needed = (54.4 + 24.6) eV = 79. eV
Question 48.
(a) In inelastic collision kinetic energy is not conserved so some part of K.E. is lost.
∴ Reduction in K.E. = K.E. before collision – K.E. after collision
Now, since initial K.E. of each of two hydrogen atoms in ground state = 13.6 eV
Total K.E. of both Hydrogen atom before collision = 2x 13.6 = 27.2 eV
If one H atom goes over to first excited state (n1 = 2) and other remains in ground state (n2 = 1) then their combined K.E. after collision is
\(=\frac{13.6}{(2)^{2}}+\frac{13.6}{(1)^{2}}=3.4+13.6=17 \mathrm{eV}\)
Hence reduction in K.E. = 27.2 – 17 = 10.2 eVA
