In Rutherford’s nuclear model of the atom, the nucleus (radius about ) is analogous to the sun about which the electron move in orbit (radius ) 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 and the radius of the sun is taken as .)
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 |
In a Geiger-Marsden experiment, what is the distance of the closest approach to the nucleus of a MeV -particle before it comes momentarily to rest and reverses its direction?
1. fm
2. fm
3. fm
4. fm
It is found experimentally that 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.
2.
3.
4.
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 m/s)
1. | Hz | 2. | Hz |
3. | Hz | 4. | Hz |
A satellite circles earth once every in an orbit having a radius of . 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.
3.
4.
The wavelength of the first spectral line of the Lyman series of the hydrogen spectrum is:
1. Å
2. Å
3. Å
4. Å
