If photon energy $E$ and an electron have same energy $E$ (kinetic energy) and De-Broglie wavelength of an electron is $\lambda _{e}$ and De-Broglie wavelength of photon is $\lambda _{p}$. The correct relation between $\lambda _{e}$ and $\lambda _{p}$ is 

  1. $\lambda _{p} \propto \lambda _{e}$
  2. $\lambda _{p} \propto \sqrt{\lambda _{e}}$
  3. $\lambda _{p} \propto \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\lambda _{e}}}$
  4. $\lambda _{p} \propto \lambda _{e}^{2}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

For photon

$E = \dfrac{{hc}}{{{\lambda _p}}}$---------------$(1)$
$ \Rightarrow {\lambda _p} = \dfrac{{hc}}{E}$

$E = \dfrac{1}{2}m{v^2}$

$ \Rightarrow v = \sqrt {\dfrac{{2E}}{m}} $

${\lambda _e} = \dfrac{h}{{mv}} = \dfrac{h}{{n\sqrt {\dfrac{{2E}}{m}} }} = \frac{h}{{\sqrt {2Em} }}$

$ \Rightarrow {\lambda _e}^2 = \dfrac{{{h^2}}}{{2Em}}$

$ \Rightarrow E = \dfrac{{{h^2}}}{{2m{\lambda _e}^2}}$
$\therefore \dfrac{{{h _e}}}{{{\lambda _p}}} = \dfrac{{{h^2}}}{{2m{\lambda _e}^2}}$

$ \Rightarrow {\lambda _p}\alpha \,{\lambda _e}^2$
Hence,
option $(D)$ is correct answer.

If the radius of first Bohrs orbit is $x$, then de-Broglie wavelength of electron in 3rd orbit is nearly

  1. $2\pi$ $x$
  2. $6\pi$$x$
  3. $9x$
  4. $x/3$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Radius of 3rd orbit radius $=9x=n^{2}x$ (where $n=3$ )
Let de broglie wavelength be $\lambda $.
For the interference of the waves to be constructive,
$n\lambda =2\pi r$ ($r$ is radius of orbit)
$\Rightarrow \lambda =\dfrac{2\pi \times 9x}{3} $ (where, $\ n=3 $, the quantum state)
$\Rightarrow \lambda =6\pi x$

The circumference of the second orbit of an atom or ion having single electron ,is $4 \times10^{-9}$ m.The de-Brogile wavelength of electron revolving in this orbit should be

  1. $2\times 10^{-9}m$
  2. $4\times 10^{-9}m$
  3. $8\times 10^{-9}m$
  4. $1\times 10^{-9}m$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The circumference of the orbit $=4\times 10^{9}m$
The orbit number $=2$

$n\lambda =2\pi r$

$\Rightarrow \lambda =\dfrac{4\times 10^{9}}{2}m$

$\Rightarrow \lambda =2\times 10^{-9}m$

If the electron in hydrogen orbit jumps from third orbit to second orbit, the wavelength of the emitted radiation is given by

  1. $\lambda = \dfrac {R}{6}$
  2. $\lambda = \dfrac {5}{R}$
  3. $\lambda = \dfrac {36}{5R}$
  4. $\lambda = \dfrac {5R}{36}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

We know that
$\dfrac {1}{\lambda} = R \left (\dfrac {1}{n _{1}^{2}} - \dfrac {1}{n _{2}^{2}} \right )$
$\dfrac {1}{\lambda} = R\left (\dfrac {1}{2^{2}} - \dfrac {1}{3^{2}} \right ) \Rightarrow R \left (\dfrac {1}{4} - \dfrac {1}{9}\right )$
$\dfrac {1}{\lambda} = \left (\dfrac {9 - 4}{36}\right ) R = \dfrac {5R}{36} \Rightarrow \lambda = \dfrac {36}{5R}$

According to de-Broglie explanation of Bohr's second postulate of quantization, the standing particle wave on a circular orbit for $n = 4$ is given by

  1. $2 \pi {r} _{n} = {4}/{\lambda}$
  2. $\dfrac{2 \pi}{\lambda} = 4{r} _{n}$
  3. $2 \pi {r} _{n} = 4 \lambda$
  4. $\dfrac{\lambda}{2 \pi} = 4 {r} _{n}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

According to debroglie explanation of Bohr's second postulate, assumption is made that integral number of wavelengths must fir in the circumference of circular orbit. The integral multiple comes out to be the same as quantization number.

$2 \pi r _n = n \lambda$
For $n=4$, 
       $2 \pi r _n = 4 \lambda$

One milligram of matter is converted into energy. The energy released will be

  1. $9\times 10^{6} J$
  2. $9\times 10^{8}J$
  3. $9\times 10^{10}J$
  4. $9\times 10^{12}J$

C Correct answer
Explanation

Here, $m = 1\ mg = 1\times 10^{-3} g $

             $= 1\times 10^{-6}kg$
According to Einstein mass-energy equivalence
                $E = mc^{2}$
where $c$ is the speed of light in vacuum
$\therefore E = (1\times 10^{-6} kg)(3\times 10^{8}ms^{-1})^{2}$
$ = 9\times 10^{10}J$.
