The transition from the state n = 4 to n = 3 in a hydrogen-like atom results in ultraviolet radiation. Infrared radiation will be obtained in the transition

Explanation

(d) As the transition n = 4 and n = 3 , results in UV radiation and infrared radiation involves smaller amounts of energy UV. So we require a transition involving initial values of n greater than 4 e.g. 54.

The electric potential between a proton and an electron is given by V=V0lnrr0 where r0 is a constant. Assuming Bohr’s model to be applicable, write variation of rn with n, n being the principal quantum number

Explanation

(a) Potential energy U=eV=eV0lnrr0 
 Force F=-dUdr=eV0r .
 The force will provide the necessary centripetal force. Hence mv2r=eV0rv=eV0m …..(i)
and mvr=nh2π               …..(ii)
From equation (i) and(ii) mr=nh2πmeV0  or r ∝ n

Explanation

(d) rm=m2Z0.53 A0=n×0.53 A0m2Z=n

m = 5 for Fm100257 (the outermost shell)

and z = 100n=52100=14

In a radioactive substance at t = 0, the number of atoms is 8×104, its half-life period is 3 yr. the number of atoms 1×104 will remain after interval [UP CPMT 2010]

Explanation

By formula  N=N012t/Tor 104=8×10412t/3or 18=12t/3or 123=12t/33=t3Hence, t=9 yr

What is the respective number of α and β-particles emitted in the following radioactive decay?

X90200Y80168   

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

Suppose x α-particles and y β-particles are emitted

So, change in mass no. is given by

4x = 200 - 168 = 32

x = 8

and change in atomic no. is given by

2x - y = 90 - 80 = 10

Putting value of x 

or 2×8 - y = 10 

So, no. of β-particles y = 6

no. of α-paritcles x = 8

Alternative

X90200Y80168As, X90200(n2He4)+m(β0-1)+Y80168therefore, in this reaction200=4n+168 or n=200-1684=8Also, 90=2n-m+80or m=2n+80-90=2×8+80-90=6Thus, respective number of α and β-particles will be 8 and 6

The mass of a proton is 1.0073 u and that of the neutron is 1.0087 u (u = atomic mass unit) The binding energy of H2e4 is (mass of helium nucleus = 4.0015 u)

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

H2e4 contains 2 neutrons and 2 protons

So, mass of 2 protons = 2×1.0073=2.0146 u

So, mass of 2 neutrons = 2×1.0087=2.0174 u

Total mass of 2 protons and 2 neutrons = (2.0146+2.0174) u = 4.032 u

Mass of helium nucleus = 40015 u

Thus, mass defect is lacking of mass in forming the helium nucleus from 2 protons and 2 neutrons.

m = mass defect = (4.032-40015) u

Also we know that

1 u = 931 MeV

Hence, binding energy

E=(m)×931=0.0305×931=28.4 MeV

The binding energies of the nuclei A and B are Ea and Eb respectively. Three atoms of the element B fuse to give one atom of element A and an energy Q is released.Then Ea, Eb and Q are related as

Explanation

Pauli suggested that after emission of β-particle (electron) a neutron is converted into a proton in a nucleus and in this reaction an electron and an antineutrino (ν) will be formed. This reaction is represented as

     n10       H11  + β0-1  +  ν¯(neutron)     (Proton) (Electron) (Antineutrino)

Antineutrino is a particle whose mass is negligible and on which no charge is present.

Note:-

After emission of β-particle, the total number of particles (mass-number) in a nucleus remains uncharged but no. of neutrons reduces by 1 making the no. of protons (i.e. charge-number) to increase by 1.
