MCQ
The de-Broglie wavelength $({\lambda _B})$  associated with the electron orbiting in the second excited state of hydrogen atom is related to that in the ground  state  $({\lambda _G})$ by
  • A
    ${\lambda _B}\, = \,{\lambda _{G}}/3$
  • B
    ${\lambda _B}\, = \,{\lambda _{G}}/2$
  • C
    ${\lambda _B}\, = \,{2\lambda _{G}}$
  • ${\lambda _B}\, = \,{3\lambda _{G}}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
${\lambda _B}\, = \,{3\lambda _{G}}$
d
de-Broglie wavelength, $\lambda=\frac{h}{P}$

$\frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{B}}}{\lambda_{\mathrm{G}}}=\frac{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{G}}}{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{B}}}=\frac{\mathrm{mv}_{\mathrm{G}}}{\mathrm{mv}_{\mathrm{B}}}$

Speed of electron $v \propto \frac{z}{n}$

so $\frac{\lambda_{B}}{\lambda_{G}}=\frac{n_{B}}{n_{G}}=\frac{3}{1} \Rightarrow \lambda_{B}=3 \lambda_{G}$

A wooden wheel of radius $R$ is made of two semicircular part (see figure). The two parts are held together by a ring made of a metal strip of cross section area $S$ and length $L$. $L$ is slighly less than $2\pi R$. To fit the ring on the wheel, it is heated so that its temperature rises by $\Delta T$ and it just steps over the wheel.As it cools down to surronding temperature, it presses the semicircular parts together. If the coefficint of linear expansion of the metal is $\alpha$, and its young's modulus is $Y$, the force that one part of wheel applies on the other part is
