Solution
A hydrogen atom makes a transition from n = 5 to n = 1 orbit. The wavelength of photon emitted is λ. The wavelength of photon emitted when it makes a transition from n = 5 to n = 2 orbit is `underlinebb(32/7lambda)`.
Explanation:
Given: n1 = 5, n2 = 1, Z = 1 and λ is wavelength of the wave, R is the Rydberg constant i.e. 1.097 × 107 m-1 and Z is the atomic number of the element. ni is lower energy level and nh is the higher energy level.
Calculating the wavelength of the photon emitted by a hydrogen atom when an electron makes a transition from n = 5 to n = 1 state,
`1/lambda = RZ^2(1/(n_i^2) - 1/(n_h^2))`
⇒ `lambda = RZ^2(1/1^2 - 1/5^2)`
⇒ `lambda = 24/25RZ^2`
⇒ `RZ^2 = (25lambda)/24` ...(i)
Calculating the wavelength of the photon emitted by a hydrogen atom when an electron makes a transition from n = 5 to n = 2 state,
`1/lambda^' = RZ^2(1/n_i^2 - 1/n_h^2)`
`1/lambda^' = RZ^2(1/2^2 - 1/5^2)`
= `RZ^2 xx 21/100`
⇒ `1/lambda^' = (25lambda)/24 xx 21/100` ...[From (i)]
= `32/7 lambda`

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.
