[Use :
Bohr radius, $\mathrm{a}=52.9 \mathrm{pm}$
Rydberg constant, $R_{\mathrm{H}}=2.2 \times 10^{-18} \mathrm{~J}$
Planck's constant, $\mathrm{h}=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~s}$
Speed of light, $\mathrm{c}=3 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$ ]
Explanation:
$r = \frac{52.9 \times n^2}{Z}$
where $r$ is in pm, $n$ is the principal quantum number, and $Z$ is the atomic number.
2. For a $\mathrm{He}^{+}$ ion, $Z=2$.
3. We are given the initial radius $r_2 = 105.8$ pm and the final radius $r_1 = 26.45$ pm.
4. We can substitute these radii into the equation for $r$ to find the corresponding quantum numbers.
For $r_2 = 105.8$ pm, we get :
$105.8 = \frac{52.9 \times n_2^2}{2}$
which gives $n_2 = 2$.
Similarly, for $r_1 = 26.45$ pm, we get :
$26.45 = \frac{52.9 \times n_1^2}{2}$
which gives $n_1 = 1$.
5. Therefore, the transition is from $n_2 = 2$ to $n_1 = 1$.
6. The energy difference during this transition is equal to the energy of the emitted photon, which is given by :
$E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} = R_H Z^2 \left( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \right)$
where $h$ is the Planck's constant, $c$ is the speed of light, $R_H$ is the Rydberg constant, and $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the photon.
7. Substituting all known values into this equation gives :
$\frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34} \, \mathrm{J} \, \mathrm{s} \times 3 \times 10^8 \, \mathrm{m/s}}{\lambda} = 2.2 \times 10^{-18} \, \mathrm{J} \times 2^2 \left( \frac{1}{1^2} - \frac{1}{2^2} \right)$
Solving this equation yields $\lambda = 30 \times 10^{-9}$ m, or 30 nm.
8. So, the wavelength of the emitted photon during the transition is 30 nm.

(Given : Mass of electron = 9.1 $\times$ 10$-$31 kg, Planck's constant h = 6.63 $\times$ 10$-$34 Js)
Explanation:
$ \begin{aligned} & \Delta \mathrm{x} \times \Delta \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{x}} \geq \frac{h}{4 \pi} \\ & \Rightarrow 2 \mathrm{a}_{0} \times \mathrm{m} \Delta \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{x}}=\frac{h}{4 \pi} \text { (minimum) } \\ & \Rightarrow \Delta \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{x}}=\frac{h}{4 \pi} \times \frac{1}{2 a_{0}} \times \frac{1}{m} \\ & =\quad 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \end{aligned} $

$\left[\right.$ Given $: \mathrm{h}=6.626 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~s}$ ]
Mass of electron $=9.1 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{~kg}$
Explanation:
$ \begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \mathrm{mv}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\lambda}=\frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~kg} \frac{\mathrm{m}^{2}}{\mathrm{sec}^{2}} \times \mathrm{sec}}{3.3 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}} \\\\ &\mathrm{mv}=\frac{6.626 \times 10^{-24}}{3.3}=2 \times 10^{-24} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m} \,\mathrm{sec}{ }^{-1} \end{aligned} $

(Mass of electron is $9.1 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{~kg}$ and mass of neutron is $1.6 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg}$ )
Explanation:
$\lambda_{e}=\lambda_{N}$ When $V_{e}=x V_{N}$
$\frac{1}{m_{e} V_{e}}=\frac{1}{m_{N} \times V_{N}}$
$\frac{m_{N}}{m_{e}}=\frac{V_{e}}{V_{N}}=x$
$x=\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-27}}{9.1 \times 10^{-31}}$
$=0.17582 \times 10^{4}$
$\simeq 1758$
When the excited electron of a H atom from n = 5 drops to the ground state, the maximum number of emission lines observed are _____________.

$ =\frac{\left(n_{2}-n_{1}\right)\left(n_{2}-n_{1}+1\right)}{2} $
$ \begin{aligned} &\mathrm{n}_{2}=5 \\ &\mathrm{n}_{1}=1 \\ &\Rightarrow \frac{(5-1)(5-1+1)}{2}=10 \end{aligned} $
Hence maximum number of emission lines observed are $10 .$
If the work function of a metal is 6.63 $\times$ 10$-$19J, the maximum wavelength of the photon required to remove a photoelectron from the metal is ____________ nm. (Nearest integer)
[Given : h = 6.63 $\times$ 10$-$34 J s, and c = 3 $\times$ 108 m s$-$1]
Explanation:
Given,

$ = {{6.63 \times {{10}^{ - 19}}} \over {1.6 \times {{10}^{ - 19}}}}$
= 4.14 eV
We know,
$E = {{1240} \over {\lambda \,(nm)}}$
$ \Rightarrow 4.14 = {{1240} \over \lambda }$
$\lambda$ = 300 nm
Consider the following set of quantum numbers.
| n | 1 | m$_1$ | |
|---|---|---|---|
| A. | 3 | 3 | $ - $3 |
| B. | 3 | 2 | $ - $2 |
| C. | 2 | 1 | +1 |
| D. | 2 | 2 | +2 |
The number of correct sets of quantum numbers is __________.
Explanation:
For A,
Given n = 3 and l = 3
but we know maximum value of l = n $-$ 1.
$\therefore$ l can't be equal to n.
So, Set A of quantum numbers is not possible.
For B,
Given n = 3, l = 2, m = $-$ 2
Here, l = 2 which follow the rule l = n $-$ 1.
And we know possible value of m is $-$ l to + l.
here possible value of m = $-$2 to +2
$\therefore$ This Set B is valid set of quantum numbers.
For C,
Given n = 2, l = 1, m = +1
Here l = 1 which follows the rule l = n $-$ 1.
For l = 1 possible value of m = $-$1 to +1
Here m = +1. So value of m is valid.
$\therefore$ Set C is valid set of quantum numbers.
For D,
Given n = 2, l = 2, m = +2
l = 2 does not follow the rule l = n $-$ 1 rule.
$\therefore$ Set D is not valid set of quantum numbers.
If the uncertainty in velocity and position of a minute particle in space are, 2.4 $\times$ 10$-$26 (m s$-$1) and 10$-$7 (m) respectively. The mass of the particle in g is ____________. (Nearest integer)
(Given : h = 6.626 $\times$ 10$-$34 Js)
Explanation:
We know from hisenberg uncertainty principle
$\Delta x\,.\,\Delta p = {h \over {4\pi }}$
$ \Rightarrow \Delta x\,.\,m\Delta v = {h \over {4\pi }}$
Given,
$\Delta$x = 10$-$7 m
$\Delta$x = 2.4 $\times$ 10$-$26 m/s
h = 6.626 $\times$ 10$-$34 Js
$\therefore$ ${10^{ - 7}} \times m \times 2.4 \times {10^{ - 26}} = {{6.626 \times {{10}^{ - 34}}} \over {4\pi }}$
$ \Rightarrow 2.4m = {{6.626} \over {4\pi \times 10}}$
$\Rightarrow$ m = 0.022 kg
$\Rightarrow$ m = 22 gm

Explanation:
where, E = energy of photon (50 W),
n = number of photon
h = Planck's constant (6.63 $\times$ 10$-$34 Js)
c = speed of light (3 $\times$ 108 m/s)
$\lambda$ = wavelength of light (795 $\times$ 10$-$9 m)
E = 50W = 50 J = energy of photon
50 J = ${{n \times 6.63 \times {{10}^{ - 34}}Js \times 3 \times {{10}^8}m/s} \over {795 \times {{10}^{ - 9}}m}}$
$\Rightarrow$ $n = {{50 \times 795 \times {{10}^{ - 9}}} \over {6.63 \times {{10}^{ - 34}} \times 3 \times {{10}^8}}}$
$ = 1998.49 \times {10^{17}} = 1.998 \times {10^{20}}$

If 'n' photons of $\lambda$ = 1000 nm are emitted, then 10$-$4 = n $\times$ ${{hc} \over \lambda }$
$ \Rightarrow {10^{ - 4}} = {{n \times 6.63 \times {{10}^{ - 34}} \times 3 \times {{10}^8}} \over {1000 \times {{10}^{ - 9}}}}$
$\Rightarrow$ n = 5.02 $\times$ 1014 = 50.2 $\times$ 1013

Explanation:
$K.E. = {{{n^2}{h^2}} \over {8{\pi ^2}m{r^2}}} = {{4{h^2}} \over {8{\pi ^2}m{{(4{a_0})}^2}}}$
$ = \left( {{4 \over {8{\pi ^2} \times 16}}} \right){{{h^2}} \over {ma_0^2}}$
$\Rightarrow$ x = 315.507
$\Rightarrow$ 10x = 3155 (nearest integer)
[Use : h = 6.63 $\times$ 10$-$34 Js, me = 9.0 $\times$ 10$-$31 kg]
Explanation:
$\Rightarrow$ from Einstein equation : E = $\phi$ + K.E.max
$ \Rightarrow {{hc} \over \lambda } = h{\upsilon _0} + {1 \over 2}m{v^2}$
$ \Rightarrow {{6.63 \times {{10}^{ - 34}} \times 3 \times {{10}^8}} \over {500 \times {{10}^{ - 9}}}} = 6.63 \times {10^{ - 34}} \times 4.3 \times {10^{14}} + {1 \over 2}m{v^2}$
$ \Rightarrow {{6.63 \times 30 \times {{10}^{ - 20}}} \over 5} = 6.63 \times 4.3 \times {10^{ - 20}} + {1 \over 2}m{v^2}$
$ \Rightarrow 11.271 \times {10^{ - 20}}J = {1 \over 2} \times 9 \times {10^{ - 31}} \times {\upsilon ^2}$
$\Rightarrow$ $\upsilon $ = 5 $\times$ 105 m/sec.
[Use mass of electron = 9.1 $\times$ 10$-$31 kg, h =6.63 $\times$ 10$-$34 Js, $\pi$ = 3.14]
Explanation:
$\Delta x.\Delta v = {h \over {4\pi m}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $x \times {10^{ - 9}} \times {10^3} = {{6.63 \times {{10}^{ - 34}}} \over {4 \times 3.14 \times 9.1 \times {{10}^{ - 31}}}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $x \times {10^{ - 9}} \times {10^3} = 0.058 \times {10^{ - 3}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $x = {{0.058 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}} \over {{{10}^{ - 9}}}} = 58$

Energy required to eject electron = ${{hc} \over \lambda }$
= ${{6.626 \times {{10}^{ - 34}}} \over {400 \times {{10}^{ - 9}}}} \times 3 \times {10^8}$
Number of electrons ejected
= ${{100} \over {{{6.626 \times {{10}^{ - 34}} \times 3 \times {{10}^8}} \over {400 \times {{10}^{ - 9}}}}}}$
= ${{400 \times {{10}^{ - 7}} \times {{10}^{26}}} \over {6.626 \times 3}}$

$ = {{6.63 \times {{10}^{ - 34}}} \over {\sqrt {1164.8 \times {{10}^{ - 47}}} }} = 6.144 \times {10^{ - 12}} \approx 6 \times {10^{ - 12}}$
x = 6
