Question
Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from (i) to (v).
The presence of positive charge on thenucleus is due to the protons in the nucleus.As established earlier, the charge on the proton is equal but opposite to that of electron.Atomic number $(Z)=$ number of protons inthe nucleus of an atom = number of electrons in a nuetral atom. protons and neutrons present in thenucleus are collectively known as nucleons. The total number of nucleons is termed asmass number $(A)$ of the atom.
mass number $(A)=$ number of protons $(Z)+$ number of neutrons $( n )$.
Isobars are the atoms with same massnumber but different atomic number forexample, ${ }_6^4 C$ and ${ }_7^{14} N$. On the other hand, atomswith identical atomic number but differentatomic mass number are known as Isotopes. For example, considering of hydrogen atom again, $99.985 \%$ of hydrogen atoms contain only one proton.This isotope is called protium $\left(1^1 H \right)$. Rest of thepercentage of hydrogen atom contains two otherisotopes, the one containing 1 proton and 1 neutron is called deuterium ( ${ }^2{ }_1 D , 0.015 \%$ )and the other one possessing 1 proton and 2 neutrons is called tritium ( ${ }^3 T$ )..the studies of interactions of radiations with matter haveprovided immense information regarding thestructure of atoms and molecules. Neils Bohrutilised these results to improve upon themodel proposed by Rutherford. Twodevelopments played a major role in theformulation of Bohr's model of atom. Thesewere:
1. Dual character of the electromagneticradiation which means that radiations possess both wave like and particle likeproperties, and
2. Experimental results regarding atomicspectra.
James Maxwell (1870) was the first to givea comprehensive explanation about theinteraction between the charged bodies andthe behaviour of electrical and magnetic fieldson macroscopic level. He suggested that whenelectrically charged particle moves underaccelaration, alternating electrical and magnetic fields are produced and transmitted.These fields are transmitted in the forms ofwaves called electromagnetic waves orelectromagnetic radiation.radiations are characterised by theproperties, namely, frequency $(v)$ and wavelength $(\lambda)$.The SI unit for frequency $(v)$ is hertz $\left( Hz , s ^{-1}\right)$, after Heinrich Hertz. It is defined asthe number of waves that pass a given pointin one second. Wavelength should have the units of lengthand as you know that the SI units of length ismeter ( m ). Since electromagnetic radiationconsists of different kinds of waves of muchsmaller wavelengths, smaller units are used.In vaccum all types of electromagneticradiations, regardless of wavelength, travel atthe same speed, i.e., $3.0 \times 10^8 m s ^{-1}$ ( $2.997925 \times 10^8 ms^{-1}$, to be precise). This is called speedof light and is given the symbol ' c '. Thefrequency $( V )$, wavelength $(\lambda)$ and velocity of light(c) are related by the following equation.
$c=v \lambda$
The other commonly used quantityspecially in spectroscopy, is the wavenumber.It is defined as the number of wavelengthsper unit length. Its units are reciprocal ofwavelength unit, i.e., $m^{–1}$. However commonlyused unit is $cm^{–1}$
