Question
When the electron orbiting in hydrogen atom in its ground state moves to the third excited state, show how the de Broglie wavelength associated with it would be affected.

Answer

de Broglie wavelength $\lambda = \frac{\text{h}}{\text{mv}}$

$\therefore \lambda \propto\frac{1}{v} ; \text{v} \propto\frac{1}{\text{n}}$

$\therefore \lambda\propto\text{n}$

$\therefore$ 𝑑𝑒 Broglie wavelength will increase

Alternate Answer

As $2\pi\text{r}_{n} = \text{n}\lambda ; \lambda = \frac{2\pi\text{r}_{n}}{\text{n}}(\lambda\propto\frac{\text{r}_{n}}{\text{n}})$

$\text{r}_{n}\propto\text{n}^{2}$

$\therefore \lambda\propto\frac{\text{n}^{2}}{\text{n}}\Rightarrow\lambda\propto\text{n}$

$\therefore$ 𝑑𝑒 Broglie wavelength will increase.

When a pure resistance R, pure inductor L and an ideal capacitor of capacitance C is connected in series to a source of alternating e.m.f., then current at any instant through the three elements has the same amplitude and is represented as $\text{I} = \text{I}_0\sin\omega\text{t}.$ However, voltage across each element has a different phase relationship with the current as shown in graph. The effective resistance of RLC circuit is called impedance (Z) of the circuit and the voltage leads the current by a phase angle $\phi.$

When a monochromatic radiations of suitable frequency obtained from source S, after being filtered by a filter attached on the window W, fall on the photosensitive place C, the photo electrons are emitted from C, which get accelerated towards the plate A if it is kept at positive potential. These electrons flow in the outer circuit resulting in photoelectric current. Due to it, the microammeter shows a deflection. The reading of micrommeter measures the photoelectric current.

An experimental setup of verification of photoelectric effect is shown in figure. The voltage across the electrodes is measured with the help ofan ideal voltmeter, and which can be varied by moving jockey Jon the potentiometer wire. The battery used in potentiometer circuit is of 16 V and its internal resistance is $2\Omega$. The resistance of 100cm long potentiometer wire is $8\Omega$.

The photocurrent is measured with the help of an ideal ammeter. Two plates of potassium oxide of area 50cm2 at separation 0.5mm are used in the vacuum tube. Photocurrent in the circuit is very small, so we can treat the potentiometer circuit as an independent circuit.

In the year 1939, German scientist Otto Hahn and Strassmann discovered that when an uranium isotope was bombarded with a neutron, it breaks into two intermediate mass fragments. It was observed that, the sum of the masses of new fragments formed were less than the mass of the original nuclei. This difference in the mass appeared as the energy released in the process. Thus, the phenomenon of splitting of a heavy nucleus (usually A > 230) into two or more lighter nuclei by the bombardment of proton, neutron $\alpha$-particle, etc. with liberation of energy is called nuclear fission.

A capacitor is a device to store energy. The process of charging up a capacitor involves the transferring of electric charges from its one place to another. This work done in charging the capacitor is stored as its electrical potential energy.

If q is the charge and V is the potential difference across a capacitor at any instant during its charging, then small work done in storing an additional small charge dq against the repulsion of charge q already stored on it is $\text{dW}=\text{V.dq}=(\frac{\text{q}}{\text{C}})\text{dq}.$
