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 653.1 nm. 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.

उत्तर
Given:
Wavelength of red light, λ = 653.1 nm = 653.1 × 10 m
Kinetic energy of H2 molecules (K) is given by
`K = 3/2 KT` .......(1)
Here, `K = 8.62 xx 10^-5 eV/K`
T = Temperature of H2 molecules
Energy released (E) when atom goes from
ground state to n = 3 is given by
`E = 13.6 (1/n_1^2 - 1/n_2^2)`
For ground state, n1 = 1
Also, n2 = 3
`therefore E = 13.6 (1/1 - 1/9)`
= `13.6 (8/9)` .............(2)
kinetic energy of H2 molecules = Energy released when hydrogen atom goes from ground state to n = 3 state
`therefore 3/2 xx 8.62 xx 10^-5xxT = (13.6xx8)/9`
`rArr T = (13.6xx8xx2)/(9xx3xx8.62xx10^-5)`
= 9.4 × 104 K

In the Auger process an atom makes a transition to a lower state without emitting a photon. The excess energy is transferred to an outer electron which may be ejected by the atom. (This is called an Auger electron). Assuming the nucleus to be massive, calculate the kinetic energy of an n = 4 Auger electron emitted by Chromium by absorbing the energy from a n = 2 to n = 1 transition.
