It is found experimentally that \(13.6~\text{eV}\) energy is required to separate a hydrogen atom into a proton and an electron. The velocity of the electron in a hydrogen atom is:
1. \(3.2\times10^6~\text{m/s}\)
2. \(2.2\times10^6~\text{m/s}\)
3. \(3.2\times10^6~\text{m/s}\)
4. \(1.2\times10^6~\text{m/s}\)
According to the classical electromagnetic theory, the initial frequency of the light emitted by the electron revolving around a proton in the hydrogen atom is: (The velocity of the electron moving around a proton in a hydrogen atom is \(2.2\times10^{6}\) m/s)
1. | \(7.6\times10^{13}\) Hz | 2. | \(4.7\times10^{15}\) Hz |

A \(10~\text{kg}\) satellite circles earth once every \(2~\text{h}\) in an orbit having a radius of \(8000~\text{km}\). Assuming that Bohr’s angular momentum postulate applies to satellites just as it does to an electron in the hydrogen atom. The quantum number of the orbit of the satellite is:
1. \(2.0\times10^{43}\)
2. \(4.7\times10^{45}\)
3. \(3.0\times10^{43}\)
4. \(5.3\times10^{45}\)
The wavelength of the first spectral line of the Lyman series of the hydrogen spectrum is:
1. \(1218\) Å
2. \(974.3\) Å
3. \(2124\) Å

In Rutherford’s nuclear model of the atom, the nucleus (radius about \(10^{-15}~\text{m}\)) is analogous to the sun about which the electron move in orbit (radius \(\approx 10^{-10}~\text{m}\)) like the earth orbits around the sun. If the dimensions of the solar system had the same proportions as those of the atom, then: (The radius of the earth's orbit is about \(1.5\times 10^{11}~\text{m}\). The radius of the sun is taken as \(7\times10^{8}~\text{m}\).)
1. | the earth will be closer to the sun than it is actually. |
2. | the earth will be farther away from the sun than it is actually. |
3. | the earth remains at the same distance from the sun as it is actually. |
4. | None of these |
The total energy of an electron in the \(n^{th}\) stationary orbit of the hydrogen atom can be obtained by:
1. \(E_n = \frac{13.6}{n^2}~\text{eV}\)
2. \(E_n = -\frac{13.6}{n^2}~\text{eV}\)
3. \(E_n = \frac{1.36}{n^2}~\text{eV}\)
4. \(E_n = -{13.6}\times{n^2}~\text{eV}\)
The simple Bohr model is not applicable to \(\text{He}^4\) atom because:
(a) | \(\text{He}^4\) is an inert gas. |
(b) | \(\text{He}^4\) has neutrons in the nucleus. |
(c) | \(\text{He}^4\) has one more electron. |
(d) | electrons are not subject to central forces. |
Choose the correct option:
1. | (a), (c) | 2. | (a), (c), (d) |
3. | (b), (d) | 4. | (c), (d) |
Let \(E_{n} = \frac{- 1m e^{4}}{8 \varepsilon_{0}^{2}n^{2} h^{2}} \) be the energy of the \(n^\text{th}\) level of H-atom. If all the H-atoms are in the ground state and radiation of frequency \(\frac{\left(\right. E_{2} - E_{1} \left.\right)}{h}\) falls on it, then:
(a) | it will not be absorbed at all. |
(b) | some of the atoms will move to the first excited state. |
(c) | all atoms will be excited to the \(n = 2\) state. |
(d) | no atoms will make a transition to the \(n = 3\) state. |

The Balmer series for the H-atom can be observed:
a. | if we measure the frequencies of light emitted when an excited atom falls to the ground state |

d. | as a sequence of frequencies with the higher frequencies getting closely packed |
