Question
Suppose in an imaginary world the angular momentum is quantized to be even integral multiples of $\frac{\text{h}}{2\pi}$ What is the longest possible wavelength emitted by hydrogen atoms in visible range in such a world according to Bohr's model?

Answer

Even quantum numbers are allowed,

$\text{n}_1=2,\text{n}_2=4\xrightarrow{\ \ \ }$ For minimum energy or for longest possible wavelength.

$\text{E}=13.6\bigg(\frac{1}{\text{n}^2_1}-\frac{1}{\text{n}^2_2}\bigg)$

$\text{E}=13.6\Big(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{4^2}\Big)=2.55$

$2.55=\frac{\text{hc}}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=\frac{\text{hc}}{2.55}=\frac{1242}{2.55}$

$\lambda=487.05\text{nm}=487\text{nm}$

A motion that repeats itself at regular intervals of time is called periodic motion. Very often, the body undergoing periodic motion has an equilibrium position somewhere inside its path. When the body is at this position no net external force acts on it. Therefore, if it is left there at rest, it remains there forever. If the body is given a small displacement from the position, a force comes into play which tries to bring the body back to the equilibrium point, giving rise to oscillations or vibrations. Every oscillatory motion is periodic, but every periodic motion need not be oscillatory. Circular motion is a periodic motion, but it is not oscillatory. The smallest interval of time after which the motion is repeated is called its period. Let us denote the period by the symbol T. Its SI unit is second. The reciprocal of T gives the number of repetitions that occur per unit time. This quantity is called the frequency of the periodic motion. It is represented by the symbol n. The relation between n and T is $\text{n}=\frac{1}{\text{T}}$. The unit of n is thus s-1. After the discoverer of radio waves, Heinrich Rudolph Hertz (1857–1894), a special name has been given to the unit of frequency. It is called hertz (abbreviated as Hz). Answer the following.

Suppose the density of air at Madras is P0 and atomospheric pressure is P0. If we go up, the density and the pressure both decrease. Suppose we wish to calculate the pressure at a height 10km above Madras. If we use the equation P- P = pogz, will we get a pressure more than the actual or less than the actual? Neglect the variation in g. Does your answer change if you also consider the variation in g?

PE of Spring

There are many types of spring. Important among these are helical and spiral springs as shown in figure.

Usually, we assume that the springs are massless. Therefore, work done is stored in the spring in the form of elastic potential energy of the spring. Thus, potential energy of a spring is the energy associated with the state of compression or expansion of an elastic spring.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5.
The scalar product or dot product of any two vectors A and B, denoted as A.B (read A dot B) is defined as
$\text{A}\cdot\text{B}=\text{AB}\cos\theta$
Where q is the angle between the two vectors. Since A, B and $\cos\theta$ are scalars, the dot product of A and B is a scalar quantity. Each vector, A and B, has a direction but their scalar product does not have a direction. Following are properties of dot product
  • the scalar product follows the commutative law: A.B = B.A
  • Scalar product obeys the distributive law: (B + C) = A.B + A.C Further, A. $(\lambda\text{B})=\lambda(\text{A}\cdot\text{B})$ where $\lambda$ is a real number.
  • For unit vectors i, j, k we have
i × i = j × j = k × k = 1 and i × j = j × k = k × i = 0
$\text{A}\times\text{A}=\mid\text{A}\parallel\text{A}\mid\cos\theta=\text{A}^2.$
B = 0, if A and B are perpendicular.
The work done by the force is defined to be the product of component of the force in the direction of the displacement and the magnitude of this displacement. Thus
$\text{W}=(\text{F}\cos\theta)\text{d}=\text{F}\cdot\text{d}$ (We see that if there is no displacement, there is no work done even if the force is large. Work has only magnitude and no direction. Its SI unit is (N m) or joule (J). Thus, When you push hard against a rigid brick wall, the force you exert on the wall does not work.
No work is done if:
  • The displacement is zero.
  • The force is zero. A block moving on a smooth horizontal table is not acted upon by Horizontal force (since there is no friction), but may undergo a large displacement.
  • The force and displacement are mutually perpendicular. This is so since, for $\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}$ rad
  • $\cos\big(\frac{\pi}{2}\big)=\theta.$ For the block moving on a smooth horizontal table, the gravitational force mg does no work since it acts at right angles to the displacement. If we assume that the moon’s orbits around the earth are perfectly circular then the earth’s gravitational force does no work. The moon’s instantaneous displacement is tangential while the earth’s force is radially inwards and $\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}.$
