What will be the energy corresponding to the first excited state of a hydrogen atom if the potential energy of the atom is taken to be 10 eV when the electron is widely separated from the proton? Can we still write En = E1/n2, or rn = a0 n2?

उत्तर
Energy of nth state of hydrogen is given by
`E_n = -13.6/n^2 eV`
Energy of first excited state (n = 2) of hydrogen, `E_1 = -13.6/4 eV = 3.4 eV`
This relation holds true when the refrence point energy is zero.Usually the refrence point energy is the energy of the atom when the electron is widely separated from the proton.In the given question, the potential energy of the atom is taken to be 10 eV when the electron is widely separated from the proton so here our refrence point energy is 10 eV. Earlier The energy of first excited state was -3.4 eV when the refrence point had zero energy but now as the refrence point has shifted so The energy of the first excited state will also shift by the corresponding amount.Thus,
E1, = -3.4 eV-10 eV = -13.4 eV
We still write En = E1/n2, or rn = a0 n2 because these formulas are independent of the refrence point enegy.

A 12.5 eV electron beam is used to bombard gaseous hydrogen at room temperature. What series of wavelengths will be emitted?
Classically, an electron can be in any orbit around the nucleus of an atom. Then what determines the typical atomic size? Why is an atom not, say, a thousand times bigger than its typical size? The question had greatly puzzled Bohr before he arrived at his famous model of the atom that you have learnt in the text. To simulate what he might well have done before his discovery, let us play as follows with the basic constants of nature and see if we can get a quantity with the dimensions of length that is roughly equal to the known size of an atom (~ 10−10 m).
(a) Construct a quantity with the dimensions of length from the fundamental constants e, me, and c. Determine its numerical value.
(b) You will find that the length obtained in (a) is many orders of magnitude smaller than the atomic dimensions. Further, it involves c. But energies of atoms are mostly in non-relativistic domain where c is not expected to play any role. This is what may have suggested Bohr to discard c and look for ‘something else’ to get the right atomic size. Now, the Planck’s constant h had already made its appearance elsewhere. Bohr’s great insight lay in recognising that h, me, and e will yield the right atomic size. Construct a quantity with the dimension of length from h, me, and e and confirm that its numerical value has indeed the correct order of magnitude.

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.
