Question
  1. Using de Broglie's hypothesis, explain with the help of a suitable diagram, Bohr's second postulate of quantization of energy levels in a hydrogen atom.
  2. The ground state energy of hydrogen atom is - 13.6 eV. What are the kinetic and potential energies of the electron in this state?

Answer

  1. $\lambda = \frac{\text{h}}{\text{p}} = \frac{\text{h}}{\text{mv}}$


$2\pi\text{r} = \text{n}\lambda$

$ =\text{n}\frac{\text{h}}{\text{mv}}$

$\Rightarrow\text{mvr} = \text{L} = \frac{\text{nh}}{2\pi}$
  1. Kinetic energy=13.6 eV
Potential energy = -27.2 eV.

Radioactive isotopes are produced in a nuclear physics experiment at a constant rate $\frac{\text{dN}}{\text{dt}}=\text{R}.$ An inductor of inductance 100mH, a resistor of resistance $100\Omega$ and a battery are connected to form a series circuit. The circuit is switched on at the instant the production of radioactive isotope starts. It is found that $\frac{\text{i}}{\text{N}}$ remains constant in time where i is the current in the circuit at time t and N is the number of active nuclei at time t. Find the half-life of the isotope.
