Suppose potential energy between electron and proton at separation $$r$$ is given by $$U = K\ln \left( r \right),$$ where $$K$$ is a constant. For such a hypothetical hydrogen atom, the ratio of energy difference between energy levels ($$n = 1$$ and $$n= 2$$ ) and ($$n=2$$ and $$n=4$$ ) is
A
1
B
2
C
3
D
4
Answer :
1
$$ - \frac{{dU}}{{dr}} = F\,\,\left( {{\text{conservative force field}}} \right)$$
$$ \Rightarrow F = \frac{{ - K}}{r}$$ provides the centrifugal force for circular motion of electron.
$$\frac{{m{v^2}}}{r} = \frac{K}{r} \Rightarrow r = \frac{{nh}}{{2\pi \sqrt {mK} }}$$
$$K.E.$$ of electron $$ = \frac{1}{2}m{v^2} = \frac{1}{2}K$$
$$P.E.$$ of electron $$ = K\ln r$$
$$\eqalign{
& E\left( n \right) = {\text{Total}}\,{\text{energy}} = K.E. + P.E. \cr
& = \frac{1}{2}K + K\ln \,r = \frac{K}{2}\left[ {1 + \log \frac{{{n^2}{h^2}}}{{4{\pi ^3}mk}}} \right] \cr} $$
Required ratio $$ = \frac{{E\left( 2 \right) - E\left( 1 \right)}}{{E\left( 4 \right) - E\left( 2 \right)}} = 1$$

When hydrogen atom is in its first excited level, its radius is
A
four times, its ground state radius
B
twice, its ground state radius
C
same as its ground sate radius
D
half of its ground state radius
Answer :
four times, its ground state radius
The radius of $$n$$th Bohr's orbit of hydrogen and hydrogen like atom
$$\eqalign{
& {r_n} = \frac{{{\varepsilon _0}{n^2}{h^2}}}{{\pi m{e^2}Z}} \cr
& \therefore {r_n} = \frac{{{n^2}{a_0}}}{Z}\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,{r_n} \propto \frac{{{n^2}}}{Z} \cr} $$
For ground state, $$n =1$$
Atomic number, $$Z = 1$$
For first excited state, $$n = 2$$
$$\therefore \frac{{{r_2}}}{{{r_1}}} = {\left( {\frac{2}{1}} \right)^2} = 4\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,{r_2} = 4{r_1}$$
Therefore, radius of first excited state is 4 times than that of ground state radius in $$H$$-atom.

The ionisation energy of hydrogen atom is $$13.6\,eV.$$ Following Bohr’s theory, the energy corresponding to a transition between 3rd and 4th orbit is
A
$$3.40\,eV$$
B
$$1.51\,eV$$
C
$$0.85\,eV$$
D
$$0.66\,eV$$
Answer :
$$0.66\,eV$$
Total energy of electron for hydrogen like atom is given by
$$\eqalign{
& {E_n} = - \frac{{13.6{Z^2}}}{{{n^2}}} \cr
& \therefore {E_3} = - \frac{{13.6}}{{{3^2}}}eV\,\,\left[ {Z = 1,n = 3} \right] \cr
& = - 1.51\,eV \cr
& {E_4} = - \frac{{13.6}}{{{4^2}}} = - 0.85\,eV \cr
& \therefore {E_4} - {E_3} = 1.51 - 0.85 = 0.66\,eV \cr} $$

In a hydrogen like atom electron make transition from an energy level with quantum number $$n$$ to another with quantum number $$\left( {n - 1} \right).$$ If $$n>>1,$$ the frequency of radiation emitted is proportional to :
15.
Energy levels $$A,B,C$$ of a certain atom correspond to increasing values of energy i.e. $${E_A} < {E_B} < {E_C}.$$ If $${\lambda _1},{\lambda _2},{\lambda _3}$$ are the wavelengths of radiation corresponding to the transitions $$C$$ to $$B,B$$ to $$A$$ and $$C$$ to $$A$$ respectively, which of the following relation is correct ?
Using Bohr's postulate for radiation of spectral line, we have
Radiation of wavelength from $$C$$ to $$B$$
$${E_C} - {E_B} = \frac{{hc}}{{{\lambda _1}}}\,.......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
Radiation of wavelength from $$B$$ to $$A$$
$${E_B} - {E_A} = \frac{{hc}}{{{\lambda _2}}}\,.......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)$$
Radiation of wavelength from $$C$$ to $$A$$
$${E_C} - {E_A} = \frac{{hc}}{{{\lambda _3}}}\,.......\left( {{\text{iii}}} \right)$$
Also, $$\left( {{E_C} - {E_A}} \right) = \left( {{E_C} - {E_B}} \right) + \left( {{E_B} - {E_A}} \right)$$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore \frac{{hc}}{{{\lambda _3}}} = \frac{{hc}}{{{\lambda _1}}} + \frac{{hc}}{{{\lambda _2}}}\, \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,\frac{1}{{{\lambda _3}}} = \frac{1}{{{\lambda _1}}} + \frac{1}{{{\lambda _2}}} \cr
& \Rightarrow {\lambda _3} = \frac{{{\lambda _1}{\lambda _2}}}{{{\lambda _1} + {\lambda _2}}} \cr} $$

If an electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from the 3rd orbit to the 2nd orbit, it emits a photon of wavelength $$\lambda .$$ When it jumps from the 4th orbit to the 3rd orbit, the corresponding wavelength of the photon will be
17.
If radiation corresponding to first line of "Balmer series" of $$H{e^ + }$$ ion knocked out electron from 1st excited state of $$H$$ atom, the kinetic energy of ejected electron from $$H$$ atom would be $$\left( {eV} \right) - $$
[Given $${E_n} = - \frac{{{Z^2}}}{{{n^2}}}\left( {13.6\,eV} \right)$$ ]
A
$$4.155\,eV$$
B
$$8.310\,eV$$
C
$$2.515\,eV$$
D
$$5.550\,eV$$
Answer :
$$4.155\,eV$$
Energy of photon corresponding to first line of Balmer series $$ = \left( {13.6} \right){\left( 2 \right)^2}\left[ {\frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{9}} \right]$$
Energy need to eject electron from $$n = 2$$ level in $$H$$ atom $$ = \left( {13.6} \right)\left( {\frac{1}{4}} \right)$$
So, required kinetic energy
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {13.6} \right)\left[ {\left( {\frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{9}} \right) - \left( {\frac{1}{4}} \right)} \right]eV \cr
& = 13.6 \times \left( {\frac{{11}}{{36}}} \right) \cr
& = 4.155\,eV \cr} $$

An electron in a hydrogen atom makes a transition from $$n = {n_1}$$ to $$n = {n_2}.$$ The time period of electron in the initial state is eight times that in the final state. Then which of the following statement is true ?
A
$${n_1} = 3{n_2}$$
B
$${n_1} = 4{n_2}$$
C
$${n_1} = 2{n_2}$$
D
$${n_1} = 5{n_2}$$
Answer :
$${n_1} = 2{n_2}$$
In the nth orbit, let $${r_n}$$ be the radius and $${v_n}$$ be the speed of electron.
Time period, $${T_n} = \frac{{2\pi {r_n}}}{{{v_n}}} \propto \frac{{{r_n}}}{{{v_n}}}$$
Now $${r_n} \propto {n^2};{v_n} \propto \frac{1}{n}$$
$$\therefore \frac{{{r_n}}}{{{v_n}}} \propto {n^3}\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,{T_n} \propto {n^3}$$
Here $$8 = {\left( {\frac{{{n_1}}}{{{n_2}}}} \right)^3}\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,\frac{{{n_1}}}{{{n_2}}} = 2$$
i.e., $${n_1} = 2{n_2}$$

In a hydrogen like atom electron make transition from an

$$\frac{e}{{\sqrt {{\varepsilon _0}{a_0}m} }}$$
C
$$\frac{e}{{\sqrt {4\pi {\varepsilon _0}{a_0}m} }}$$
