Two positively charged particles $m_1$ and $m_2$ have been accelerated across the same potential difference of 200 keV as shown below.

[Given mass of $m_1 = 1$ amu and $m_2 = 4$ amu]
The deBroglie wavelength of $m_1$ will be $x$ times of $m_2$. The value of $x$ is __________ (nearest integer)
Explanation:
$ \lambda_{\mathrm{d}}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\sqrt{2 \mathrm{mK.E.}}} $
Here, both particles are accelerated through the same potential difference of 200 keV, so they gain the same kinetic energy (K.E.).
So, in the formula, $\mathrm{h}$ and K.E. are the same for both particles. Only the mass $\mathrm{m}$ is different.
Therefore, $ \lambda_{\mathrm{d}} \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mathrm{~m}}} $
Now, $ \begin{aligned} & \frac{\left(\lambda_{\mathrm{d}}\right)_{\mathrm{m}_1}}{\left(\lambda_{\mathrm{d}}\right)_{\mathrm{m}_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}_2}{\mathrm{~m}_1}}=\sqrt{4}=2 \\ & \left(\lambda_{\mathrm{d}}\right)_{\mathrm{m}_1}=2\left(\lambda_{\mathrm{d}}\right)_{\mathrm{m}_2} \end{aligned} $
So $\mathrm{x}=2$.
The hydrogen spectrum consists of several spectral lines in Lyman series $\left(L_1, L_2\right.$, $\mathrm{L}_3 \ldots ; \mathrm{L}_1$ has lowest energy among Lyman series). Similarly it consists of several spectral lines in Balmer series $\left(\mathrm{B}_1, \mathrm{~B}_2, \mathrm{~B}_3 \ldots ; \mathrm{B}_1\right.$ has lowest energy among Balmer lines). The energy of $L_1$ is $x$ times the energy of $B_1$. The value of $x$ is $\_\_\_\_$ $\times 10^{-1}$
. (Nearest integer)
Explanation:
For hydrogen, the energy difference for a spectral line is given by
$\Delta E=13.6 \times Z^2\left(\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2}\right)$
Step 1: Identify the transitions
In the Lyman series, electrons fall to $n_1=1$. The first line $L_1$ is the transition $2 \to 1$.
In the Balmer series, electrons fall to $n_1=2$. The first line $B_1$ is the transition $3 \to 2$.
Step 2: Find energy of $L_1$
$\begin{aligned} & \Delta \mathrm{E}\left(\mathrm{L}_1\right)=13.6 \times \mathrm{Z}^2\left(\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{2^2}\right)=13.6 \mathrm{Z}^2 \times \frac{3}{4} \end{aligned}$
Step 3: Find energy of $B_1$
$\begin{aligned} & \Delta \mathrm{E}\left(\mathrm{B}_1\right)=13.6 \times \mathrm{Z}^2 \times\left(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2}\right)=13.6 \times \mathrm{Z}^2 \times \frac{5}{4 \times 9} \end{aligned}$
Step 4: Take the ratio to get $x$
The factor $13.6Z^2$ cancels in the ratio.
$\begin{aligned} & \frac{\Delta \mathrm{E}\left(\mathrm{L}_1\right)}{\Delta \mathrm{E}\left(\mathrm{B}_1\right)}=\frac{3}{5} \times 9=\frac{27}{5}=\mathrm{x} \end{aligned}$
Step 5: Write in the asked form
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{x}=\left(\frac{27}{5} \times 10\right) \times 10^{-1}=54 \times 10^{-1} \end{aligned}$

Radius of the first excited state of Helium ion is given as : $\mathrm{a}_0 \rightarrow$ radius of first stationary state of hydrogen atom.
The energy of an electron in the first Bohr orbit of the H-atom is -13.6 eV.
The magnitude of energy value of an electron in the first excited state of Be3+ is ________ eV (nearest integer value).
Explanation:
To find the energy of an electron in the first excited state of a Be3+ ion, we can use the formula for the energy of an electron in a hydrogen-like atom:
$ \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{T}} = -13.6 \frac{Z^2}{n^2} \text{ eV} $
Given:
Energy of the first orbit (ground state) of the hydrogen atom: $ \mathrm{E}_1 = -13.6 \text{ eV} $ (where $ Z = 1 $ and $ n = 1 $).
For Be3+:
Atomic number $ Z = 4 $.
First excited state corresponds to $ n = 2 $.
Calculation for Be3+:
The energy ratio between the hydrogen atom and the Be3+ ion can be written as:
$ \frac{\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{H}}}{\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Be}^{+3}}} = \frac{Z_1^2}{n_1^2} \times \frac{n_2^2}{Z_2^2} $
Substitute the known values:
$ \frac{-13.6}{\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Be}^{+3}}} = \frac{1^2}{1^2} \times \frac{2^2}{4^2} $
$ \frac{-13.6}{\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Be}^{+3}}} = \frac{1}{1} \times \frac{4}{16} $
Solving this gives:
$ \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Be}^{+3}} = -13.6 \times 4 = -54.4 \text{ eV} $
The magnitude of the energy of the electron in the first excited state of Be3+ is $\left| -54.4 \right| = 54.4 \text{ eV}$, which is approximately 54 eV when rounded to the nearest integer.

Based on Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, the uncertainty in the velocity of the electron to be found within an atomic nucleus of diameter $10^{-15} \mathrm{~m}$ is ________ $\times 10^9 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$ (nearest integer)
[Given : mass of electron $=9.1 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{~kg}$, Plank's constant $(h)=6.626 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js}$] (Value of $\pi=3.14$)
Explanation:
To find the uncertainty in the velocity of the electron within an atomic nucleus of diameter $10^{-15} \ \text{m}$, we can use Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. The principle is expressed as:
$ \Delta x \cdot m \Delta v \geq \frac{h}{4 \pi} $
Here, $\Delta x$ is the uncertainty in position, $m$ is the mass of the electron, $\Delta v$ is the uncertainty in velocity, and $h$ is Planck's constant.
Given:
- $ \Delta x = 10^{-15} \ \text{m} $
- $ m = 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \ \text{kg} $
- $ h = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \ \text{Js} $
- $ \pi = 3.14 $
We need to find $\Delta v$. Rearrange the uncertainty principle to solve for $\Delta v$:
$ \Delta v \approx \frac{h}{4 \pi m \Delta x} $
Plug in the numbers:
$ \Delta v = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{4 \times 3.14 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 10^{-15}} $
First, calculate the denominator:
$ 4 \times 3.14 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 10^{-15} = 114.392 \times 10^{-46} $
Now, perform the division:
$ \Delta v = \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{114.392 \times 10^{-46}} = \frac{6.626}{114.392} \times 10^{12} $
Perform the division:
$ \Delta v \approx 0.0579 \times 10^{12} \ \text{m/s} = 57.97 \times 10^9 \ \text{m/s} $
So, the uncertainty in the velocity of the electron is:
$ 58 \times 10^{9} \ \text{m/s} \quad \text{(nearest integer)} $
Wavenumber for a radiation having 5800 $\mathop A\limits^o $ wavelength is $x \times 10 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}$ The value of $x$ is ________. (Integer answer)
Explanation:
The wavenumber of a radiation is defined as the number of wavelengths per unit distance and is the reciprocal of the wavelength. Wavenumber is commonly represented in units of $\mathrm{cm}^{-1}$.
First, convert the given wavelength from angstroms ($\mathop A\limits^o $) to centimeters (cm). We know that:
$1 \mathop A\limits^o = 10^{-8} \, \text{cm}$
Given wavelength is 5800 $\mathop A\limits^o $:
$5800 \mathop A\limits^o = 5800 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{cm}$
Now calculate the wavenumber ($\tilde{\nu}$) which is the reciprocal of the wavelength:
$\tilde{\nu} = \frac{1}{{5800 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{cm}}}$
Simplify the expression:
$\tilde{\nu} = \frac{1}{5800 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{cm}} = \frac{10^8}{5800} \, \mathrm{cm}^{-1}$
Now, divide the numerator by the denominator to calculate the precise value:
$\tilde{\nu} = \frac{10^8}{5800} \approx 1.724 \times 10^4 \, \mathrm{cm}^{-1}$
Here, it is given that the wavenumber is in the form of $x \times 10 \, \mathrm{cm}^{-1}$, so $x$ would be the value we calculated divided by 10:
$x = \frac{1.724 \times 10^4}{10} = 1724$
Thus, the integer answer for the value of $x$ is:
1724

For hydrogen atom, energy of an electron in first excited state is $-3.4 \mathrm{~eV}, \mathrm{K} . \mathrm{E}$. of the same electron of hydrogen atom is $x \mathrm{~eV}$. Value of $x$ is _________ $\times 10^{-1} \mathrm{~eV}$. (Nearest integer)
Explanation:
To determine the kinetic energy (K.E.) of an electron in the first excited state of a hydrogen atom, we need to understand the relationship between the total energy, potential energy, and kinetic energy in an atom.
In a hydrogen atom, the total energy (E) of an electron in the nth state is given by:
$E_n = - \frac{13.6}{n^2} \mathrm{~eV}$
For the first excited state, $ n = 2 $. So, plugging in the value:
$E_2 = - \frac{13.6}{2^2} = - \frac{13.6}{4} = - 3.4 \mathrm{~eV}$
This value represents the total energy (E) of the electron in the first excited state. According to the virial theorem for an electron in a Coulomb potential (as in a hydrogen atom), the kinetic energy (K.E.) is equal to the negative of the total energy:
$\mathrm{K.E.} = - E$
Substituting the total energy we calculated:
$\mathrm{K.E.} = - (-3.4) = 3.4 \mathrm{~eV}$
Now, we need to find the value of $x$ in the form of $x \times 10^{-1} \mathrm{~eV}$.
$3.4 \mathrm{~eV} = 34 \times 10^{-1} \mathrm{~eV}$
Therefore, the value of $x$ is 34.
