Question 14 Marks
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 $\lambda = \frac{\text{h}}{\text{mv}}$
$\therefore \lambda \propto\frac{1}{v} ; \text{v} \propto\frac{1}{\text{n}}$
$\therefore \lambda\propto\text{n}$
$\therefore$ ?? Broglie wavelength will increase
Alternate Answer
As $2\pi\text{r}_{n} = \text{n}\lambda ; \lambda = \frac{2\pi\text{r}_{n}}{\text{n}}(\lambda\propto\frac{\text{r}_{n}}{\text{n}})$
$\text{r}_{n}\propto\text{n}^{2}$
$\therefore \lambda\propto\frac{\text{n}^{2}}{\text{n}}\Rightarrow\lambda\propto\text{n}$
$\therefore$ ?? Broglie wavelength will increase.

Question 34 Marks
In the study of Geiger-Marsdon experiment on scattering of α particles by a thin foil of gold, draw the trajectory ofα−particles in the Coulomb field of target nucleus. Explain briefly how one gets the information on the size of the nucleus from this study. From the relation $R = R_0\ A^{1/3},$ where $R_0$ is constant and A is the mass number of the nucleus, show that nuclear matter density is independent of A.
Answer

Only a small fraction of the $\alpha-$incidentparticles rebound. This shows that the mass of the atom is concentrated in a small volume in the form of nucleus and gives an idea of the size of the nucleus.
Radius of the nucleus
$\text{R} =\text{R}_{\circ}\text{A}^\frac{1}{3}$
Density $ = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}$
$ = \frac{\text{mA}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{R}^{3}}$
where, m: mass of one nucleon
A: Mass number
$ = \frac{\text{mA}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi(\text{R}_{\circ}\text{A}^\frac{1}{3})^{3}}$
$ = \frac{3\text{m}}{4\pi\text{R}_{\circ}^{3}}$
=>Nuclear matter density is independent of A.

Question 44 Marks
When white radiation is passed through a sample of hydrogen gas at room temperature, absorption lines are observed in Lyman series only. Explain.
Answer
White radiations are x-rays that have energy ranging between 5-10eV.
When white radiation is passed through a sample of hydrogen gas at room temperature, absorption lines are observed only in the Lyman series.
At room temperature, almost all the atoms are in ground state.
The minimum energy required for absorption is 10.2eV (for a transition from n = 1 to n = 2).
The white radiation has photon radiations that have an energy of around 10.2 eV.
So, they are just sufficient to transmit an electron from n = 1 to n = 2 level.
Hence, the absorption lines are observed only in the Lyman series.

Question 54 Marks
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.
$\text{E}=13.6\bigg(\frac{1}{\text{n}^2_1}-\frac{1}{\text{n}^2_2}\bigg)$
$\text{E}=13.6\Big(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{4^2}\Big)=2.55$
$2.55=\frac{\text{hc}}{\lambda}$
$\lambda=\frac{\text{hc}}{2.55}=\frac{1242}{2.55}$
$\lambda=487.05\text{nm}=487\text{nm}$

Question 64 Marks
Hydrogen is the simplest atom of nature. There is one proton in its nucleus and an electron moves around the nucleus in a circular orbit. According to Niels Bohr, this electron moves in a stationary orbit. When this electron is in the stationary orbit, it emits no electromagnetic radiation.The angular momentum of the electron is quantized, i.e., ⁣$\text{mvr}=\big(\frac{\text{nh}}{2\pi}\big)$ where m = mass of the electron, v = velocity of the electron in the orbit, r = radius of the orbit and n = 1, 2, 3, .... When transition takes place from $K^{th}$ orbit to $J^{th}$ orbit, energy photon is emitted. If the wavelength of the emitted photon is $\lambda$ we find that $\frac{1}{\lambda}=\text{R}\bigg[\frac{1}{\text{J}^2}-\frac{1}{\text{K}^2}\bigg]$where find that On a different planet, the hydrogen atom's structure was somewhat different from ours. The angular momentum of electron was $\text{P}=2\text{n}\Big(\frac{\text{h}}{2\pi}\Big)$ i.e., an even multiple of $\Big(\frac{\text{h}}{2\pi}\Big)$.
  1. The minimum permissible radius of the orbit will be.
  1. $\frac{2\in_0\text{h}^2}{\text{m}\pi\text{e}^2}$
  2. $\frac{4\in_0\text{h}^2}{\text{m}\pi\text{e}^2}$
  3. $\frac{\in_0\text{h}^2}{\text{m}\pi\text{e}^2}$
  4. $\frac{\in_0\text{h}^2}{\text{2m}\pi\text{e}^2}$
  1. In our world, the velocity of electron is $v_0$ when the hydrogen atom is in the ground state. The velocity of electron in this state on the other planet should be.
  1. $\text{v}_0$
  2. $\frac{\text{v}_0}{2}$
  3. $\frac{\text{v}_0}{4}$
  4. $\frac{\text{v}_0}{8}$
  1. In our world, the ionization potential energy of a hydrogen atom is 13.6eV. On the other planet, this ionization potential energy will be.
  1. 13.6eV
  2. 3.4eV
  3. 1.5eV
  4. 0.85eV
  1. Check the correctness of the following statements about the Bohr model of hydrogen atom.
  1. The acceleration of the electron in n = 2 orbit is more than that in n = 1 orbit.
  2. The angular momentum of the electron in n = 2 orbit is more than that in n = 1 orbit.
  3. The kinetic energy of the electron in n = 2 orbit is less than that in n = 1 orbit.
  1. Only (III) and (I) are correct
  2. Only (III) and (I) are correct
  3. Only (II) and (III) are correct.
  4. All the statements are correct.
  1. In Bohr's model of hydrogen atom, let PE represent potential energy and TE the total energy. In going to a higher orbit.
  1. PE increases, TE decreases
  2. PE decreases, TE increases
  3. PE increases, TE increases
  4. PE decreases, TE decreases
Answer
  1. (b) $\frac{4\in_0\text{h}^2}{\text{m}\pi\text{e}^2}$
Explanation:
On other planet : $\text{mvr}=2\text{n}\frac{\text{h}}{2\pi}\Rightarrow\frac{\text{nh}}{\pi\text{mr}}$
$\frac{\text{mv}^2}{\text{r}}=\frac{1}{4\pi\in_0}\frac{\text{e}^2}{\text{r}^2}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{mn}^2\text{h}^2}{\text{n}^2\text{m}^2\text{r}^3}=\frac{1}{4\pi\in_0}\frac{\text{e}^2}{\text{r}^2}$
Putting n = 1, we get $\text{r}=\frac{4\text{h}^2\in_0}{\text{m}\pi\text{e}^2}$
  1. (b) $\frac{\text{v}_0}{2}$
Explanation:
On our planet:$\text{v}_0=\frac{\text{e}}{2\in_{\text{nh}}}$
On other planet:$\text{v}=\frac{\text{e}^2}{2\in_0\big(2\text{n}\big)\text{h}}=\frac{\text{v}_0}{2}$
  1. (b) 3.4eV
Explanation:
On our planet:$\text{E}_\text{n}=-\frac{13.6}{\text{n}^2}$
On other planet:$\text{E}_\text{n}=-\frac{13.6}{\big(\text{2n}\big)^2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{E}_\text{n}=\frac{\text{E}_\text{n}}{4}=-3.4\text{eV}$
  1. (c) Only (ii) and (iii) are correct.
Explanation:
Centripetal acceleration $=\frac{\text{mv}^2}{\text{r}}$
Further, as n increases, r also increases. Therefore, centripetal acceleration for n = 2 is less than that for n = 1. So, statement (i) is wrong. Statement (ii) and (iii) are correct
  1. (c) PE increases, TE increases
Explanation:

Potential energy $=\frac{-\text{C}}{\text{r}^2}$ total energy $=\frac{\text{Rhc}}{\text{n}^2}$ With higher orbit, both r and n increase. So, both become less negative hence both increase.

Question 74 Marks
In 1911, Rutherford, along with his assistants, H. Geiger and E. Marsden, performed the alpha particle scattering experiment. H. Geiger and E. Marsden took radioactive source $(^{214}_{83}\text{Bi})$ for $\alpha$- particles. A collimated beam of $\alpha$-particles of energy 5.5 MeV was allowed to fall on $2.1 \times 10^{-7}$ m thick gold foil. The $\alpha$-particles were observed through a rotatable detector consisting of a Zinc sulphide screen and microscope. It was found that CL-particles got scattered. These scattered $\alpha$-particles produced scintillations on the zinc sulphide screen. Observations of this experiment are as follows?
Most of the $\alpha$-particles passed through the foil without deflection.
Only about 0.14% of the incident $\alpha$-particles scattered by more than 1º
Only about one $\alpha$-particle in every 8000 $\alpha$-particles deflected by more than 90º
These observations led to many arguments and conclusions which laid down the structure of the nuclear model of an atom.
  1. Rutherford's atomic model can be visualised as.
  1. Gold foil used in Geiger-Marsden experiment is about $10^{-8}m$ thick. This ensures.
  1. Gold foil's gravitational pull is small or possible.
  2. Gold foil is deflected when $\alpha$-particle stream is not incident centrally over it.
  3. Gold foil provides no resistance to passage of $\alpha$-particles.
  4. Most $\alpha$-particle will not suffer more than 1º scattering during passage through gold foil.
  1. In Geiger-Marsden scattering experiment, the trajectory traced by an $\alpha$-particle depends on.
  1. Number of collision.
  2. Number of scattered $\alpha$- particles.
  3. Impact parameter.
  4. None of these.
  1. In the Geiger-Marsden scattering experiment, in case of head-on collision, the impact parameter should be.
  1. Maximum
  2. Minimum
  3. Infinite
  4. zero
  1. The fact only a small fraction of the number of incident particles rebound back in Rutherford scattering indicates that.
  1. Number of $\alpha$-particles undergoing head-on-collision is small.
  2. Mass of the atom is concentrated in a small volume.
  3. Mass of the atom is concentrated in a large volume.
  4. Both (a) and (b).
Answer
  1. (d)
Explanation:
Rutherford's atom had a positively charged centre and electrons were revolving outside it. It is also called the planetary model of the atom, as in option (d).
  1. (d) Most $\alpha$-particle will not suffer more than 1º scattering during passage through gold foil.
Explanation:
As the gold foil is very thin, it can be assumed that $\alpha$-particles will suffer not more than one scattering during their passage through it. Therefore, computation of the trajectory of an $\alpha$-particle scattered by a single nucleus is enough.
  1. (c) Impact parameter
Explanation:
Trajectory of $\alpha$-particles depends on impact parameter, which is the perpendicular distance of the initial velocity vector of the $\alpha$particles from the centre of the nucleus. For small impact parameter, $\alpha$ particle close to the nucleus suffers larger scattering.
  1. (b) Minimum
Explanation:
At minimum impact parameter, $\alpha$ particles rebound back$(\theta\approx\pi)$ and suffers large scattering.
  1. (d) Both (a) and (b).
Explanation:
In case of head-on-collision, the impact parameter is minimum and the $\alpha$-particle rebounds back. So, the fact that only a small fraction of the number of incident particles rebound back indicates that the number of $\alpha$-particles undergoing head-on collision is small. This in turn implies that the mass of the atom is concentrated in a small volume. Hence, option (a) and (b) are correct.

Question 84 Marks
Bohr's model explains the spectral lines of hydrogen atomic emission spectrum. While the electron of the atom remains in the ground state, its energy is unchanged. When the atom absorbs one or more quanta of energy, the electrons moves from the ground state orbit to an excited state orbit that is further away.

  2. If we measure the frequencies of light emitted due to transitions between excited states and the first excited state.
  3. In any transition in a H-atom.
  4. None of these.
Answer
  1. (d) VI
Explanation:
For Balmer series, $n_1 = 2; n_2 = 3, 4,...$ (lower) (higher)
Therefore, in transition (VI), photon of Balmer series is absorbed
  1. (c) 487nm
Explanation:
ln transition II,
$E_2 = -3.4\ eV, E_4 = -0.85\ eV$
$\triangle\text{E}=2.55\text{ eV}\Rightarrow\triangle\text{E}=\frac{\text{hc}}{\gamma}$
$\Rightarrow\gamma=\frac{\text{hc}}{\triangle \text{E}}=487\text{nm}$
  1. (d) V
Explanation:
Wavelength of radiation = 1030 A
$\triangle\text{E}=\frac{12400}{1030\text{ A}}=120\text{ eV}$
So, difference of energy should be 12.0 eV (approx.) Hence for $n_1 = 1$ to $n_2 = 3$
En3 -En1 = -1.51eV -(-13.6eV) $\approx$ 12eV
Therefore, transition V will occur.​​​​​​
  1. (a) $n_1 = 4,n_2 = 2$
Explanation:
$\text{T}^2\propto\text{r}^3\text{and}\text{ r}\propto\text{n}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{T}^2\propto\text{n}^6\Rightarrow\text{T}\propto\text{n}^3$
$\frac{\text{T}_1}{\text{T}_2}=\Big(\frac{\text{n}_1}{\text{n}_2}\Big)^3$
$\Rightarrow8=\Big(\frac{\text{n}_1}{\text{n}_2}\Big)^3\text{or}\frac{\text{n}_1}{\text{n}_2}=3$
  1. (b) If we measure the frequencies of light emitted due to transitions between excited states and the first excited state.

Question 104 Marks
Niels Bohr introduced the atomic Hydrogen model in 1913. He described it as a positively charged nucleus, comprised of protons and neutrons, surrounded by a negatively charged electron cloud. In the model, electrons orbit the nucleus in atomic shells. The atom is held together by electrostatic forces between the positive nucleus and negative surroundings.

Bohr correctly proposed that the energy and radii of the orbits of electrons in atoms are quantized, with energy for transitions between orbits given by
$\triangle\text{E}=\text{h}\upsilon=\text{E}_\text{i}-\text{E}_\text{f}$ where $\triangle\text{E}$ is the change in energy between the initial and final orbits and $\text{h}\upsilon$ is the energy of an absorbed or emitted photon.
  1. In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, discrete radii and energy states result when an electron circles the atom in an integer number of
  1. De Broglie wavelengths
  2. Wave frequencies

  1. The electron goes around the nucleus in circular orbits.
  2. The angular momentum of the electron can only be an integral multiple of $\frac{\text{h}}{2\pi}$.
  3. The magnitude of the linear momentum of the electron is quantized.
  4. Quantization of energy is itself a postulate of the Bohr model.
Answer
  1. (c) Quantum numbers
  2. (d) Inversely proportional to $n^3$
Explanation:
$\omega=\frac{\text{v}}{\text{r}}$ Further $\omega\propto\frac{1}{\text{n}}$ and $\text{r}\propto\text{n}^2$
Hence $\omega\propto\Big(\frac{1}{\text{n}^3}\Big)$
  1. (c) $\frac{\text{3h}}{2\pi}$
  2. (b) The least energy
Explanation:
The energy of $n^{th}$ Bohr orbit in hydrogen atom is
$\text{E}_\text{n}=-\frac{13.6}{\text{n}^2}\text{eV}$
For lowest orbit, n = 1
$\therefore\text{E}_1=13.6\text{ eV}$
Thus, the lowest Bohr orbit in hydrogen atom has the least energy.
  1. (b) The angular momentum of the electron can only be an integral multiple of $\frac{\text{h}}{2\pi}$.

Question 114 Marks
At room temperature, most of the H-atoms are in ground state. When an atom receives some energy (i.e., by electron collisions), the atom may acquire sufficient energy to raise electron to higher energy state. In this condition, the atom is said to be in excited state. From the excited state, the electron can fall back to a state of lower energy emitting a photon equal to the energy difference of the orbit.

In a mixture of He-He gas $(He^+$ is singleionized He atom$)$. H-atoms and $He^+$ ions are excited to their respective first excited states. Subsequently, H-atoms transfer their total excitation energy to $He^+$ ions (by collisions)

  4. $\frac{2\pi\text{h}\in_0}{\text{me}^2}$
  1. Angular momentum of an electron in H-atom in first excited state is.
  1. $\frac{\text{h}}{\pi}$
  2. $\frac{\text{h}}{2\pi}$
  3. $\frac{2\pi}{\text{h}}$
  4. $\frac{\pi}{\text{h}}$
Answer
  1. (c) 4
Explanation:
$\text{E}_{\text{n}}=\frac{-13.6}{\text{n}^2}(\text{Z}^2)$
In first excited state, $EH_2 = 3.4\ eV$ and $E_{He} = -13.6\ eV$
So, $H_2$ atom gives excitation energy (13.6 - 3.4 = 10.2 eV) to helium atom
Now, energy of He ion $= -13.6 + 10.2 = -3.4 eV$
Again, $\text{E}=\frac{-13.6}{\text{n}^2}\times\text{Z}^2$
$\Rightarrow-3.4=\frac{-13.6}{\text{n}^2}\times({2})^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{n}=4$
  1. (c) $4.8 \times 10^{-7} m$
Explanation:
$\frac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{13.6\text{Z}^2}{\text{hc}}\Big[\frac{1}{\text{h}^2_1}-\frac{1}{\text{h}^2_2}\Big]$
Here, $n_1 = 3$ and $n_2 = 4$
$\Rightarrow\lambda=4.8\times10^{-7}\text{m}$
  1. (a) $\frac{1}{4}$
Explanation:
Kinetic energy, $\text{K}\propto\frac{\text{z}^2}{\text{n}^2}$
$\frac{\text{K}_{\text{H}_{2}}}{\text{K}_{\text{H}_{\text{e}}}}=\bigg(\frac{\text{Z}_{\text{H}_{2}}}{\text{Z}_{\text{He}}}\bigg)^2=\big(\frac{1}{2}\big)^2=\frac{1}{4}$
  1. (b) $\frac{\text{h}^2\in_0}{\pi\text{me}^2}$
Explanation:
Radius of the permitted orbit is r $=\frac{\text{n}^2\text{h}^2\in_0}{\pi\text{mze}^2}$
For hydrogen atom in ground state, i.e.,
n = 1,Z = 1 $\Rightarrow\text{r}==\frac{\text{n}^2\in_0}{\pi\text{me}^2}$
  1. (a) $\frac{\text{h}}{\pi}$
Explanation:
Angular momentum for hydrogen atom is $\text{L}=\frac{\text{nh}}{\pi2}$
For 6 first excited state, n = 2, $\text{L}=\frac{\text{h}}{\pi}$

Question 124 Marks
The spectral series of hydrogen atom were accounted for by Bohr using the relation $\text{V}=\text{R}\Bigg(\frac{1}{\text{n}^2_1}-\frac{1}{\text{n}^2_2}\Bigg)$where R = Rydberg constant $= 1.097 \times 107m^{-1}$ Lyman series is obtained when an electron jumps to first orbit from any subsequent orbit. Similarly, Balmer series is obtained when an electron jumps to $2^{nd}$ orbit from any subsequent orbit, Paschen series is obtained when an electron jumps to $3^{rd}$ orbit from any subsequent orbit.

  4. 3 : 4
Answer
  1. (a) 1215.4 A
Explanation:
From, $\text{V}=\frac{1}{\lambda}=\text{R}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{n}^2_1}-\frac{1}{\text{n}^2_2}\Big)$
$n_1 = 1, n_2 = 2$ for first spectral line of Lyman series,
$\frac{1}{\lambda}=1.097\times10^7\bigg(\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{1^2}\bigg)$
$=\frac{3\times1.097\times10^7}{4}\text{m}^{-1}$
$\lambda=\frac{4\times10^{-7}\text{m}}{3\times1.097}$
$=\frac{4000}{3\times1.0947}\text{A}=1215.4\text{A}$
  1. (d) 911.6 A
Explanation:
For wavelength limit, we put $\text{n}_2=\infty$
$\therefore\frac{1}{\lambda}=1.097\times10^7\Big(\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{\infty}\Big)$
$\lambda=\frac{1}{1.097\times10^7}$
$\text{m}=\frac{1000}{1.097}\text{A}=911.6\text{ A}$
  1. (b) $4.57 \times 10^{14} Hz$
Explanation:
For first line of Balmer series, $n_1 = 2, n_2 = 3$
$\text{V}=\frac{1}{\lambda}=\text{R}\Bigg(\frac{1}{\text{n}^2_1}-\frac{1}{\text{n}^2_2}\Bigg)$
$\text{V}=\frac{\text{c}}{\lambda}=\text{Rc}\Bigg(\frac{1}{\text{n}^2_1}-\frac{1}{\text{n}^2_2}\Bigg)$
$= 1.097 \times 10^7 \times 3 \times 10^8 \Bigg(\frac{1}{2_2}-\frac{1}{3_2}\Bigg)$
$= 1.097 \times 3 \times 10^{15} \times 3 \frac{5}{36} 4.57 \times 10^{14} Hz$​​​​​​​
  1. (d) n = 2 to n = 1
Explanation:
$\text{h}\upsilon_{2\rightarrow1}=-13.6\Bigg(\frac{1}{2_2}-\frac{1}{1_2}\Bigg)\text{eV}=10.2\text{eV}$
Emission is n = 2 → n = 1 i.e., higher n to lower n. Transition from lower to higher levels are absorption lines.
$13.6\Bigg(\frac{1}{6_2}-\frac{1}{2_2}\Bigg)=+13.6\times\frac{2}{9}$
This is $ < E_n = 2 → E_n = 1$​​​​​​​
  1. (a) 5 : 9
Explanation:
$\frac{1}{\lambda_\text{max}}=\text{R}\bigg[\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2}\bigg]=\frac{5\text{R}}{36}$
$\frac{1}{\lambda_\text{max}}=\text{R}\bigg[\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{\infty}\bigg]=\frac{\text{R}}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\lambda_\text{max}}{\lambda_\text{max}}=\frac{5\text{R}}{36}\times\frac{4}{\text{R}}=\frac{5}{9}$
