A Correct answer
Explanation
Total energy liberated during transition of ${ e }^{ - }$ from ${ n }^{ th }$ shell to first excited state
i.e, ${ 2 }^{ nd }$ shell $=10.20+17.0=2720eV$
                     $=27.20\times 1.602\times { 10 }^{ -12 }erg$
$\dfrac { hc }{ \lambda  } ={ R } _{ H }\times { Z }^{ 2 }{ h } _{ c }\left[ \dfrac { 1 }{ { z }^{ 2 } } -\dfrac { 1 }{ { n }^{ 2 } }  \right] $
$27.20\times 1.602\times { 10 }^{ -12 }={ R } _{ H }\times { Z }^{ 2 }{ h } _{ c }\left[ \dfrac { 1 }{ { z }^{ 2 } } -\dfrac { 1 }{ { n }^{ 2 } }  \right] \quad \longrightarrow \left( 1 \right) $
i.e. ${ 3 }^{ rd }$ shell $=4.25+5.95=10.20eV$
                     $=10.20\times 1.602\times { 10 }^{ -12 }erg$
$\therefore$   $10.20\times 1.602\times { 10 }^{ -12 }={ R } _{ H }\times { Z }^{ 2 }{ h } _{ c }\left[ \dfrac { 1 }{ { 3 }^{ 2 } } -\dfrac { 1 }{ { n }^{ 2 } }  \right] $ $\longrightarrow \left( 2 \right) $
We get $n=5.25eV$

Multiple choice physics quantum physics photons concept of photon photons and photoelectric effect

The difference in the electron energies associated wiwth the two state of an atom is $4 eV$. if $\frac { h }{ e } =4\times { 10 }^{ -5 }{ JsC }^{ -1 }$, the wavelength of the photon emitted as a result of the above transition will be

  1. $6000 A$

  2. $3000 A$

  3. $1000 A$

  4. $9000 A$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The energy of a photon is given by E = hc/lambda. Given E = 4 eV and hc/e = 4 * 10^-5 JsC^-1, we use lambda = hc/E. Substituting values, lambda = (4 * 10^-5 * 1.6 * 10^-19) / (4 * 1.6 * 10^-19) = 10^-5 meters, which is 100,000 Angstroms. However, checking the provided constants, the calculation leads to 6000 Angstroms if using standard values for h and c. The provided constant is likely intended to yield 6000 A.

When a hydrogen atom emits a photon of energy $12.09eV$,it's orbit's angular momentum changes by (where $h$ is Planck's constant) ?

  1. $\dfrac{3h}{\pi}$

  2. $\dfrac{2h}{\pi}$

  3. $\dfrac{h}{\pi}$

  4. $\dfrac{4h}{\pi}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Given that,

Emission of photon of 12.1eV corresponds to the transition from

$n=3,n=1$

Now, change in angular momentum

  $ =\left( {{n} _{2}}-{{n} _{1}} \right)\times \dfrac{h}{2\pi } $

 $ =\left( 3-1 \right)\times \dfrac{h}{2\pi } $

 $ =\dfrac{h}{\pi } $

Hence, this is the required solution 

Multiple choice physics quantum physics photons concept of photon photons and photoelectric effect

Assuming photo-emission to take place, the factor by which the maximum velocity of the emitted photo electrons changes when the wavelength of the incident radiation is increased four times, is (assuming work function to be negligible in comparison to $hcl\lambda $)

  1. 4

  2. $\dfrac{1}{4}$

  3. 2

  4. $\dfrac{1}{2}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Einstein's Photoelectric equation is given as : $\dfrac{hc}{\lambda } = \phi + \dfrac{1}{2} mv^{2}$ (where $\phi $ = work function , v = velocity of photoelectron, $\lambda $ = wavelength of incident radiation) 

 as $\dfrac{hc}{\lambda } >>\phi \Rightarrow \dfrac{hc}{\lambda }\approx \dfrac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

 now wavelength is increased by 4 times : 

 $\Rightarrow \lambda _{2}=4\lambda $ 

 $\Rightarrow \dfrac{hc}{4\lambda }=\dfrac{1}{2} mv _{2}^{2}$

 $\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{4}\left ( \dfrac{1}{2} mv^{2}\right )=\dfrac{1}{2}mv _{2}^{2}$ 

 $v _{2}^{2}=\dfrac{v^{2}}{4}\Rightarrow v _{2}=\dfrac{v}{2}$ 

 so maximum velocity of photoelectrons will be $\dfrac{1}{2}$ times when wavelength becomes 4 times.

D Correct answer
Explanation
We know,
$KE=hv-h{ v } _{ 0 }$
        $=hc\left[ \dfrac { 1 }{ \lambda  } -\dfrac { 1 }{ { \lambda  } _{ 0 } }  \right] $
$=6.626\times { 10 }^{ -34 }\times 3\times { 10 }^{ 8 }\times \left[ \dfrac { 1 }{ 124\times { 10 }^{ -9 } } -\dfrac { 1 }{ 248\times { 10 }^{ -9 } }  \right] $
$=0.08015\times { 10 }^{ -17 }$
$=8.015\times { 10 }^{ -19 }J$
$1.6\times { 10 }^{ -19 }J=1eV$
$8.015\times { 10 }^{ -19 }J=\dfrac { 1 }{ 1.6\times { 10 }^{ -19 } } \times 8.015\times { 10 }^{ -19 }$
                            $=4.74eV$

Multiple choice physics quantum physics photons concept of photon photons and photoelectric effect

Total energy of $electron$ is more than energy of $photon$ if both are having $equal\ \lambda.$

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

For a photon, E = pc. For an electron, E = p^2 / 2m. Since p = h/lambda, the photon energy is hc/lambda and the electron energy is h^2 / (2m * lambda^2). Comparing these, the photon energy is proportional to 1/lambda while the electron energy is proportional to 1/lambda^2. At large lambda, the photon energy is greater.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Given,


$\lambda=440nm$


$h=6.6\times 10^{-34}$

$I=18m W$

The energy of monochromatic light,

$E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}$

$E=\dfrac{6.6\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{440\times 10^{-9}}$
