उत्तर
Frequency of electron (f) is given by
`f = (me^4)/(4∈_0^2n^3h^3)`
Time period is given by
` T = 1/f`
`T = (4∈_0^2n^3h^3)/me^`
Here,
h = Planck's constant
m = Mass of the electron
e = Charge on the electron
`∈_0`= Permittivity of free space
`∴ T =(4xx(8.85xx10^-12)xx(2)^3xx(6.63xx10^-34)^3)/((9.10xx10^-31)xx(1.6xx106^-16)^4 `
`= 12247.735xx10^-19 S`
Average life time of hydrogen, `t = 10^-3 S`
Number of revolutions is given by
`N = t/T`
`rArr N=(10^-8)/(12247.735xx10^-19)`
N = 8.2 × 105 revolution

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.

When a photon is emitted from an atom, the atom recoils. The kinetic energy of recoil and the energy of the photon come from the difference in energies between the states involved in the transition.
