A spectroscopic instrument can resolve two nearby wavelengths $\lambda$ and $\lambda+\Delta\lambda$ if $\frac{\lambda}{\Delta\lambda}$ is smaller than 8000. This is used to study the spectral lines of the Balmer series of hydrogen. Approximately how many lines will be resolved by the instrument?

The light emitted in the transition n = 3 to n = 2 in hydrogen is called $\text{H}_\alpha$ light. Find the maximum work function a metal can have so that $\text{H}_\alpha$ light can emit photoelectrons from it.

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.

Consider an excited hydrogen atom in state n moving with a velocity u(ν << c). It emits a photon in the direction of its motion and changes its state to a lower state m. Apply momentum and energy conservation principles to calculate the frequency ν of the emitted radiation. Compare this with the frequency $ν_0$ emitted if the atom were at rest.

A beam of monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ ejects photoelectrons from a cesium surface $\big(\Phi=1.9\text{eV}\big).$ These photoelectrons are made to collide with hydrogen atoms in ground state. Find the maximum value of $\lambda$ for which (a) hydrogen atoms may be ionized, (b) hydrogen atoms may get excited from the ground state to the first excited state and (c) the excited hydrogen atoms may emit visible light.
