Identify which of the following is the smallest discrete value of electromagnetic energy?
  • Photon
  • B
    Proton
  • C
    Electron
  • D
    Quark
Answer
Correct option: A.
Photon

Quantum is the minimum amount of any physical entity involved in an interaction. It is a discrete quantity of energy proportional in magnitude to the frequency of the radiation it represents. It implies that the magnitude of the physical property can take on only certain discrete values.
A photon is a quantum of electromagnetic energy, which means, that the electromagnetic energy is composed of a number of the smallest particles possible called photons, whose energy depends upon the frequency of them.

A set of atoms in an excited state decays.
  • In general to any of the states with lower energy.
  • B
    Into a lower state only when excited by an external electric field.
  • C
    All together simultaneously into a lower state.
  • D
    To emit photons only when they collide.
Answer
Correct option: A.
In general to any of the states with lower energy.
When hydrogen atom is excited, it returns to its normal unexcited $($or ground state$)$ state by emitting the energy it had absorbed earlier. This energy is given out by the atom in the form of radiations of different wavelengths from different orbits cause different wavelengths, these constitute spectral series which are characteristic of the atom emitting then. When observed through a spectroscope, these radiations ate imaged as sharp and straight vertical lines of a single colour.

The spectral lines arising from the transition of electron forms a spectra series.
  1. Mainly there are five series and each series is named after its discoverser as Lyman series, Balmer series, Paschen series, Bracked series and pfumd series.
  2. According to the Bohr's theory, the wavelength of the rediations emitted from hydrogen atom is given by
$\frac{1}{\lambda}=\text{R}\bigg[\frac{1}{\text{n}_1^2}-\frac{1}{\text{n}_2^2}\bigg]\Rightarrow\ \lambda=\frac{\text{n}_1^2\text{n}_2^2}{(\text{n}_2^2-\text{n}_1^2)\text{R}}=\frac{\text{n}_1^2}{\Big(1-\frac{\text{n}_1^2}{\text{n}_2^2}\Big)\text{R}}$

The hyperfine lines in the spectrum is related to:
  • A
    Zeeman effect
  • B
    Stark effect
  • C
    Lande's splitting
  • nuclear magnetic spin
Answer
Correct option: D.
nuclear magnetic spin

In atomic physics, hyperfine structure is the different effects leading to small shifts and splitting in the energy levels of atoms, molecules and ions. The name is a reference to the fine structure which results from the interaction between the magnetic moments associated with electron spin and the electrons' orbital angular momentum. Hyperfine structure, with energy shifts is typically orders of magnitude smaller than the fine structure, results from the interactions of the nucleus $($or nuclei, in molecules$)$ with internally generated electric and magnetic fields.

MCQ 1681 Mark
When a photon stimulates the emission of another photon, the two photons have:
  • A
    Same energy.
  • B
    Same phase.
  • C
    Same wavelength.
  • All of the above
Answer
Correct option: D.
All of the above
Explanation: d. All of the above
When a photon stimulates the emission of another photon, the two photons have same energy, direction, phase, and wavelength or we can say that the two photons are coherent. When an atom is present in its excited state then if a photon of energy equal to the energy gap between the excited state and any lower stable state is incident on this atom then the atom transits from upper state to the lower stable state by emitting a photon of energy equal to the energy gap between the two states. It is called stimulated emission. The emitted photon and incident photon have same energy and hence same wavelength. Also these two photons will be in phase and in the same direction. This process of producing monochromatic and unidirectional light is called lasing action.

Taking the Bohr radius as $a_0 = 53\ pm$, the radius of $Li^{++}$ ion in its ground state, on the basis of Bohr’s model, will be about:
  • A
    $53\ pm.$
  • B
    $27\ pm.$
  • $18\ pm.$
  • D
    $13\ pm.$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$18\ pm.$

Key concept: Bohr's redius of orbit $($for Hydrogen and $H_2$-like atoms$)$: For an electron around a stationary nucleus, the electrostatics force of attraction provides the necessary centripetal force.

i.e., $\frac{1}{4\pi\in_0}\frac{(\text{Ze})\text{e}}{\text{r}^2}=\frac{\text{mv^2}}{\text{r}}\ .....(\text{i})$
Also $\text{mvr}=\frac{\text{nh}}{2\pi}\ .....(\text{ii})$
From equation $(i)$ and $(ii),$ radius of $n^{th}$ orbit
$\text{r}_\text{n}=\frac{\text{n}^2\text{h}^2}{4\pi^2\text{kZme}^2}=\frac{\text{n}^2\text{h}^2\in_0}{\pi\text{mZe}^2}=0.53\frac{\text{n}^2}{\text{Z}}\mathring{\text{A}}\ \Big(\text{k}=\frac{1}{4\pi\in_0}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{r}_\text{n}\propto\frac{\text{n}^2}{\text{Z}}\text{ or }\text{r}_\text{n}\propto\frac{1}{\text{Z}}$
$\text{r}_\text{n}=\text{a}_0\frac{\text{n}^2}{\text{Z}},$ where $a_0 =$ the Bohr radius $= 53\ pm$
The atomic number $(Z)$ of lithium is $3.$
As $\text{r}_\text{n}=\text{a}_0\frac{\text{n}^2}{\text{Z}},$
Therefore, the radius of $Li^{++}$ ion in its ground statr, on the basis of Bohr's model, will be about $\frac{1}{3}$ times to that of Bohr radius.
Therefore, the radius of lithium ion is near $\text{r}=\frac{53}{3}\approx18\text{pm}.$

When an electron jumps from its orbit to another orbit, energy is:
  • A
    Emitted
  • B
    Absorbed
  • C
    Both absorbed and emitted
  • Depends on the energy levels of the orbits
Answer
Correct option: D.
Depends on the energy levels of the orbits

When an electron jumps from lower energy level to higher energy level it absorbs energy and when it jumps from higher energy level to lower energy level it emits energy.
So whether the electron emits or absorbs energy depends on the energy levels of the orbit

Suppose, the electron in a hydrogen atom makes transition from $n = 3$ to $n = 2$ in $10^{-8}s$. The order of the torque acting on the electron in this period, using the relation between torque and angular momentum as discussed in the chapter on rotational mechanics is:
  • A
    $10^{-34} \mathrm{Nm}$
  • B
    $10^{-24} \mathrm{Nm}$
  • $10^{-42} \mathrm{Nm}$
  • D
    $10^{-8} \mathrm{Nm}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$10^{-42} \mathrm{Nm}$

The angular momentum of the electron for the $n^{th}$ state is given by,
$\text{L}_\text{n}=\frac{\text{nh}}{2\pi}$
Angular momentum of the electron for $\text{n}=3,\ \text{L}_\text{i}=\frac{3\text{h}}{2\pi}$
Angular momentum of the electron for $\text{n}=2,\ \text{L}_\text{f}=\frac{2\text{h}}{2\pi}$
The torque is the time rate of change of the angular momentum.
Torque, $\tau=\frac{\text{L}_\text{f}-\text{L}_\text{i}}{\text{t}}$
$=\frac{\big(\frac{2\text{h}}{2\pi}\big)-\big(\frac{3\text{h}}{2\pi}\big)}{10^{-8}}$
$=\frac{-\big(\frac{\text{h}}{2\pi}\big)}{10^{-8}}$
$=\frac{-10^{-34}}{10^{-8}}$ $\Big[\because\frac{\text{h}}{2\pi}\approx10^{-34}\text{J}-\text{s}\Big]$
$=-10^{-42}\text{N}-\text{m}$
The magnitude of the torque is $10^{-42}$N-m.

In a laboratory experiment on emission from atomic hydrogen in a discharge tube, only a small number of lines are observed whereas a large number of lines are present in the hydrogen spectrum of a star. This is because in a laboratory:
  • A
    The amount of hydrogen taken is much smaller than that present in the star.
  • The temperature of hydrogen is much smaller than that of the star.
  • C
    The pressure of hydrogen is much smaller than that of the star.
  • D
    The gravitational pull is much smaller than that in the star.
Answer
Correct option: B.
The temperature of hydrogen is much smaller than that of the star.

The number of lines of the hydrogen spectrum depends on the excitation of the hydrogen atom. This is dependent on the heat energy absorbed by the hydrogen atoms. More the temperature of the hydrogen sample, more is the heat energy. The temperature of hydrogen at the star is much more than that can be produced in the laboratory. Hence, less number of lines are observed in the hydrogen spectrum in the laboratory than that in a star.
