The radius of the shortest orbit in a one$-$electron system is $18\ pm$. It may be
  • A
    Hydrogen.
  • B
    Deuterium.
  • C
    $\mathrm{He}^{+}$
  • $\mathrm{Li}^{++}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\mathrm{Li}^{++}$

The radius of the $\mathrm{n}^{\text {th }}$ orbit in one electron system is given by,
$\mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{\mathrm{n}^2 \mathrm{a}_0}{\mathrm{z}}$
Here, $a_0=53 \mathrm{pm}$
For the shortest orbit, $\mathrm{n}=1$
For hydrogen, $Z=1$
$\therefore$ Radius of the first state of hydrogen atom $=53 \mathrm{pm}$
For deuterium, $Z=1$
$\therefore$ Radius of the first state of deuterium atom $=53 \mathrm{pm}$
For $\mathrm{He}^{+}, \mathrm{Z}=2$
$\therefore$ Radius of $\mathrm{He}^{+}$atom $=\frac{53}{2} \mathrm{pm}=26.5 \mathrm{pm}$
For $\mathrm{Li}^{++}, \mathrm{Z}=3$
$\therefore$ Radius of $\mathrm{Li}^{++}$atom $=\frac{53}{3} \mathrm{pm}=17.66 \approx 18 \mathrm{pm}$
The given one$-$electron system having radius of the shortest orbit to be $18\ pm$ may be $\mathrm{Li}^{++}$

In a cathode ray oscillograph, the focusing of beam on the screen is achieved by:
  • A
    Convex lens
  • B
    Magnetic field
  • Electric potential
  • D
    All of these
Answer
Correct option: C.
Electric potential

In the oscilloscope, the signal to be studied is first amplified and then applied to the vertical plate to deflect the beam vertically and at the same time, a voltage that increases linearly with time is applied to the horizontal plate thus causing the beam to be deflected horizontally. The signal applied to the vertical plate is thus displayed on the screen as a function of time.
Hence focussing of beam on screen is achieved by changing electric potential or the voltage with time across the horizontal plate.

An electron with kinetic energy $5\ eV$ is incident on a hydrogen atom in its ground state. The collision:
  • Must be elastic.
  • B
    May be partially elastic.
  • C
    Must be completely inelastic.
  • D
    May be completely inelastic.
Answer
Correct option: A.
Must be elastic.

The minimum energy required to excite a hydrogen atom from its ground state to $1^{\text {st }}$ excited state is approximately $10\ eV.$ As the incident electron energy is not sufficient for excitation of the hydrogen atom so electron will not get absorbed in the hydrogen atom so it can not be an inelastic collision. Also this collision can not be partially elastic because in an partially elastic collision, there is a net loss on kinetic energy. If the energy is lost then corresponding amount of heat should have been produced but it is not so which implies that the collision is completely elastic.

  • A
    It will not be absorbed at all.
  • B
    No atoms will make a transition to the n = 3 state.
  • C
    All atoms will be excited to the n = 2 state.
  • B and C both
Answer
Correct option: D.
B and C both
Solution:
Let $\mathrm{E}_2$ and $\mathrm{E}_1$be the energy corresponding to n = 2 and n = 1 respectively. If radiation of energy $\Delta\text{E}=(\text{E}_2-\text{E}_1)=\text{hf}$ incident on a sample where all the H-atoms are in the ground state, according to Bohr model some of the atoms will move to the first excited state. As this energy is not sufficient for transition from n = 1 to n =3, hence no atoms will make a transition to the n = 3 state.

The energy of an atom $($or ion$)$ in its ground state is $-54.4\ eV.$ It may be:
  • A
    Hydrogen.
  • B
    Deuterium.
  • $He^+$
  • D
    $Li^{++}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$He^+$

The total energy of a hydrogen$-$like ion, having $Z$ protons in its nucleus, is given by,
$\text{E}=-\frac{13.6\text{Z}^2}{\text{n}^2}\text{eV}$
Here, $n =$ Principal quantum number.
For ground state, $n = 1$
$\therefore$ Total energy, $E = -13.6Z^2\ eV$
For hydrogen, $Z = 1$
$\therefore$ Total energy, $E = -13.6\ eV$
For deuterium, $Z = 1$
$\therefore$ Total energy, $e = -13.6\ eV$
For $He^+, Z = 2$
$\therefore$ Total energy $E = -13.6 \times 2^2 = -54.4eV$
For $Li^{++}$,
$Z = 3$
$\therefore$ Total energy, $E = -13.6 \times 3^2 = -122.4\ eV$
Hence, the ion having an energy of $-54.4\ eV$ in its ground state may be $He^+$
