Question
  1. State Bohr’s postulate to define stable orbits in hydrogen atom. How does de Broglie’s hypothesis explain the stability of these orbits?
  2. A hydrogen atom initially in the ground state absorbs a photon which excites it to the $n = 4$ level. Estimate the frequency of the photon.

Answer

  1. Quantum condition:
The electrons are permitted to circulate only in those orbits in which the angular momentum of an electron is an integralmultiple of $\frac{\text{h}}{2\pi}; h$ being Plancks constant.
Therefore, for any permitted orbit.
$\text{L}=\text{mvr}=\frac{\text{nh}}{2\pi},\ \text{n}=1, 2,3, .....$
where $L,m$ and $v$ are the angular momentum,mass and speed of the electron $, r$ is the radius of the permitted orbit and $n$ is positive integer called principal quantum number,
The above equation is Bohrs famous quantum condition.
Stationary orbits:
While revolving in the permissible orbits, an electron does not radiate energy.
These non $-$ radiating orbits are called stationary orbits.
According to de $-$ Broglie, the circumference of $n^{th}$ circular orbit in which electron is revolving is given by:
$2\pi\text{r}_{\text{n}}=\text{n}\lambda\ .....(\text{i})$
where $\lambda=$ wavelength of wave emitted by electron
also, by de $-$ Broglies hypothesis
$\lambda=\frac{\text{h}}{\text{mv}}\ ....(\text{ii})$
From $(i)$ and $(ii)$
$2\pi\text{r}_{\text{n}}=\frac{\text{nh}}{\text{mv}}$
$\therefore\ \text{mvr}_{\text{n}}=\frac{\text{nh}}{2\pi}$
  1. $\frac{1}{\lambda}=\text{R}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{n}^2_1}-\frac{1}{\text{n}^2_2}\Big)$
Here:
$n_1 = 1$
$n_2 = 4$
$\frac{1}{\lambda}=\text{R}\Big(1-\frac{1}{4}\Big)$
$\frac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{3}{4}\text{R}$
$\lambda=\frac{4}{3\text{R}}$
Now, $\text{c}=\text{f}\lambda$
$\text{f}=\frac{\text{c}}{\lambda}=\frac{4\text{c}}{3\text{R}}$
Where $c =$ speed of light in vacuum $= 3 \times 10^8m/ s.$
$R =$ Rhydberg constant $= 1.09 \times 10^7m^{-1}.$
$\text{f}=\frac{4\times3\times10^8}{3\times1.09\times10^7}$
$\text{f}=36.69\text{Hz}$
