Question
What is the minimum energy that must be given to a H atom in ground state so that it can emit an Hγ line in Balmer series. If the angular momentum of the system is conserved, what would be the angular momentum of such Hγ photon?

Solution
We know that Hγ spectral line in the Balmer series is formed when an electron falls from n = 5 to n = 1.
Here the electron is in the ground state ie., n = 1 and must be taken to n = 5 for Hγ line.
So the energy of H? = `E_5 - E_1 = (13.6/5^2) - (- 13.6)`
= – 0.54 + 13.6
= 13.06 eV
Since angular momentum, is conserved, so the angular momentum of Hγ = change in angular momentum of the electron
= L5 – L2 – 5h – 2h
= 3h = 3 × 6.63 × 10–34
= 19.89 × 10–34 kg m2/s

The first four spectral lines in the Lyman series of a H-atom are λ = 1218 Å, 1028Å, 974.3 Å and 951.4 Å. If instead of Hydrogen, we consider Deuterium, calculate the shift in the wavelength of these lines.
Deutrium was discovered in 1932 by Harold Urey by measuring the small change in wavelength for a particular transition in 1H and 2H. This is because, the wavelength of transition depend to a certain extent on the nuclear mass. If nuclear motion is taken into account then the electrons and nucleus revolve around their common centre of mass. Such a system is equivalent to a single particle with a reduced mass µ, revolving around the nucleus at a distance equal to the electron-nucleus separation. Here µ = meM/(me + M) where M is the nuclear mass and m e is the electronic mass. Estimate the percentage difference in wavelength for the 1st line of the Lyman series in 1H and 2H. (Mass of 1H nucleus is 1.6725 × 10–27 kg, Mass of 2H nucleus is 3.3374 × 10–27 kg, Mass of electron = 9.109 × 10–31 kg.)
