The energy of a hydrogen atom in the ground state is -13.6 eV. The energy of a ion in the first excited state will be
Energy E of an atom with principal quantum number n is given by E= for first excited state n=2 and for
=-13.6 eV
An alpha nucleus of energy bombards a heavy nuclear target of charge Ze. Then the distance of closest approach for the alpha nucleus will be proportional to
A particle of mass m possesses initial velocity v, when it is at a large distance from the nucleus of an atom having atomic number Z. At the distance of closest approach, the kinetic energy of particle is completely converted into potential energy. Mathematically,
In a Rutherford scattering experiment when a projectile of charge and mass approaches a target nucleus of charge and mass the distance of closest approach is . The energy of the projectile is
A particle of mass and charge possess initial velocity u, when it is at a large distance from the nucleus of an atom having atomic number . At the distance of closest approach, the kinetic energy of particle is completely converted to potential energy. Mathematically,
So the energy of the particle is directly proportional to .
The ionization energy of the electron in the hydrogen atom in its ground state is 13.6 eV. The atoms are excited to higher energy levels to emit radiations of 6 wavelengths. Maximum wavelength of emitted radiation corresponds to the transition between
Number of spectral lines obtained due to transition of electron from orbit to lower orbit is
N = and for maximum wavelength the difference between the orbits of the series should be minimum.
Number of spectral lines N =
or
or
or n=4
Now as the first line of the series has the maximum wavelength, therefore electron jumps from the orbit to the third orbit.
The ground state energy of hydrogen atom is -13.6 eV. When its electron is in the first excited state, its excitation energy is:
Excitation energy is defined as the energy required to take the electron from ground level orbit to any higher order orbit (i.e, n= 2, 3, 4...)
Given, ground state energy of hydrogen atom
Energy of electron in first excited state (i.e, n=2)
Therefore, excitation energy
=-
=-3.4+13.6=10.2eV
In the phenomenon of electric discharge through gases at low pressure, the coloured glow in the tube appears as a result of:
The discharge of electricity through rarefied gases is an interesting phenomenon which can be systematically studies with the help of a discharge tube. In discharge tube collisions between the charged particles emitted from the cathode and the atoms of the gas results to the coloured glow in the tube .
When subjected to a transverse electric field, cathode rays move:
(b) In an electric field, a force opposite to the direction of electric field acts on negatively charged particles (i.e. from lower potential to higher potential).
The fact that electric charges are integral multiples of the fundamental electronic charge was proved experimentally by
