A hydrogen atom, initially in the ground state is excited by absorbing a photon of wavelength 980 A . The radius of the atom in the excited state, in terms of Bohr radius a0 will be : (hc = 12500 eV A )

A. 4a0

B. 9a0

C. 25a0

D. 16a0

The correct answer is option (D)

Energy of photon = 12500 980 = 12.75 e V

  Electron will excite to n = 4

Since 'R' n2

  Radius of atom will be 16a0

Both the nucleus and the atom of some element arein their respective first excited states. They get de-excted by emitting photons of wavelengths λ N, λ A respectively. The ratio λ N λ A is closest to :

A. 10 6

B. 10

C. 10 10

D. 10 1

The correct answer is option (A)

We know that E = h c λ

So, for atom E A = h c λ A

And for neutron E N = h c λ N

Then, E A E N = h c λ A × λ N h c λ N λ A

Here, EA is order of eV and EN is order of MeV.

Therefore, λ N λ A = E A E N = e V M e V = 1 e V 10 6 e V

λ N = 10 6 λ A

An electron from various excited states of hydrogen atom emit radiation to come to the ground state. Let λ n , λ g be the de Broglie wavelength of the electron in the nth state and the ground state respectively. Let Λ n be the wavelength of the emitted photon in the transition from the nth state to the ground state. For large n, (A, B are constants)

A. Λ n A + B λ n 2

B. Λ n A + B λ n

C. Λ n 2 A + B λ n 2

D. Λ n 2 λ

The correct answer is option (C)

We know,

Wavelength of emitted photon from n2 state to n1 state is

1 λ   =  RZ2 ( 1 n 1 2 1 n 2 2 )

Here electron comes from nth state to ground state (n = 1),

then the wavelength of photon is ,

1 Λ n  =  RZ2 ( 1 1 2 1 n 2 )

Λ n   =  1 R Z 2 ( 1 1 n 2 ) 1

As n is very large, so using binomial theorem

Λ n  =  1 R Z 2 ( 1 + 1 n 2 )

Λ n =  1 R Z 2 + 1 R Z 2 ( 1 n 2 )

We know,

λ n =  2 π r n

=  2 π ( n 2 h 2 4 π 2 m Z C 2 ) × 1 n

λ n n

n  =  K λ n

Λ n  =  1 R Z 2 + 1 R Z 2 ( 1 ( K λ n ) 2 )

Let A  =   1 R Z 2  and   B  =  1 K 2 R Z 2

Λ n  =  A + B λ n 2

It is found that if a neutron suffers an elastic collinear collision with deuterium at rest, fractional loss of its energy is pd; while for its similar collision with carbon nucleus at rest, fractional loss of energy is pc. The values of pd and pc are respectively :

A. (0, 1)

B. (0.89, 0.28)

C. (0.28, 0.89)

D. (0, 0)

The correct answer is option (C)

JEE Main 2018 (Offline) Physics - Atoms and Nuclei Question 174 English Explanation 1

Applying conservation of momentum :

mv + 0 = mv1 + 2mv2

v = v1 + 2v2 . . . . . (1)

As collision is elastic,

So, coefficient of restitution, e = 1

e = 1 = v e l o c i t y o f s e p a r a t i o n V e l o c i t y o f a p p r o a c h

1 = v 2 v 1 v 0

v = v2 v1 . . . . .(2)

Add (1) and (2),

2v = 3v2

v2 = 2 v 3

put value of v2 in equation (1),

v1 = v 2v2

= v 4 v 3

= v 3

Fractional loss of energy of neutron.

Pd = k i k f k i

= 1 2 m v 2 1 2 m v 1 2 1 2 m v 2

= v 2 v 2 9 v 2

= 8 9

= 0.89

JEE Main 2018 (Offline) Physics - Atoms and Nuclei Question 174 English Explanation 2

Applying momentum of conservation,

mv + 0 = mv1 + 12mv2

v = v1 + 12v2 . . . . . (3)

Here also e = 1

e = 1 = v 2 v 1 v 0

v = v2 v1 . . . . . . (4)

adding (3) and (4), we get

2v = 13v2

v2 = 2 v 13

put this v2 in equation (3), we get

v1 = v 12 × 2 v 13

= 11 v 13

Frictional loss

pc = 1 2 m v 2 1 2 m ( 11 13 v ) 2 1 2 m v 2

= 48 169

= 0.28

If the series limit frequency of the Lyman series is ν L , then the series limit frequency of the Pfund series is:

A. ν L / 25

B. 25 ν L

C. 16 ν L

D. ν L / 16

The correct answer is option ()

Note :

(1)   In Lyman Series, transition happens in n = 1 state
from n = 2, 3, . . . . .

(2)   In Balmer Series, transition happens in n = 2 state
from n = 3, 4, . . . . .

(3)   In Paschen Series, transition happens in n = 3 state
from n = 4, 5, . . . . .

(4)   In Bracktt Series, transition happens in n = 4 state
from n = 5, 6 . . . . . .

(5)   In Pfund Series, transition happens in n = 5 state
from n = 6, 7, . . . .

We know,

1 λ   =  RZ2 ( 1 n 1 2 1 n 2 2 )

Series limit means transition happens

from n = to n = 1, for Lyman Series.

In series limit for Lyman series,

1 λ L = RZ2 ( 1 1 2 1 )

1 λ L = RZ2

We know,

E = h c λ = h γ

γ = c λ

So, frequency in Lyman Series,

γ L =  c λ L   = c × RZ2

In Pfund series,

n2 =  and  n1 = 5

1 λ P  = RZ2 ( 1 5 2 1 2 )

1 λ P = R Z 2 25

γ P   =   c λ P = c × R Z 2 25

γ P = c R Z 2 25 = γ L 25    [as   γ L = cRZ2]
