Three photons coming from excited atomic-hydrogen sample are picked up. Their energies are 12.1eV, 10.2 eV and 1.9eV. These photons must come from:
  1. A single atom.
  2. Two atoms.
  3. Three atoms.
  4. Either two atoms or three atoms.

  2. May be partially elastic.
  3. Must be completely inelastic.
  4. May be completely inelastic.

When a photon stimulates the emission of another photon, the two photons have:

  2. Same direction.
  3. Same phase.
  4. Same wavelength.
  5. All of the above

In a laboratory experiment on emission from atomic hydrogen in a discharge tube, only a small number of lines are observed whereas a large number of lines are present in the hydrogen spectrum of a star. This is because in a laboratory:
  1. The amount of hydrogen taken is much smaller than that present in the star.
  2. The temperature of hydrogen is much smaller than that of the star.
  3. The pressure of hydrogen is much smaller than that of the star.
  4. The gravitational pull is much smaller than that in the star.

The average kinetic energy of molecules in a gas at temperature T is 1.5kT. Find the temperature at which the average kinetic energy of the molecules of hydrogen equals the binding energy of its atoms. Will hydrogen remain in molecular from at this temperature? Take k = 8.62 × 10-5eVK-1.

Find the temperature at which the average thermal kinetic energy is equal to the energy needed to take a hydrogen atom from its ground state to n = 3 state. Hydrogen can now emit red light of wavelength 653.1nm. Because of Maxwellian distribution of speeds, a hydrogen sample emits red light at temperatures much lower than that obtained from this problem. Assume that hydrogen molecules dissociate into atoms.
