  • Zero
  • B
    Infinite
  • C
    $10-10m$

MCQ 2051 Mark
A hydrogen atom in ground state absorbs $10.2\ eV$ of energy. The orbital angular momentum of the electron is increased by:
  • $ 1.05 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js} $
  • B
    $ 2.11 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js} $
  • C
    $ 3.16 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js} $
  • D
    $ 4.22 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js} $
Answer
Correct option: A.
$ 1.05 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js} $
Let after absorption of energy, the hydrogen atom goes to the nth excited state.
Therefore, the energy absorbed can be written as,
$10.2=13.6\times\Big(\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{\text{n}^2}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{10.2}{13.6}=1-\frac{1}{\text{n}^2}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{n}^2}=\frac{13.6-10.2}{13.6}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{n}^2}=\frac{3.4}{13.6}$
$\Rightarrow\text{n}^2=4$
$\Rightarrow\text{n}=2$
The orbital angular momentum of the electron in the $n^{th}$ state is given by,
$\text{L}_\text{n}=\frac{\text{nh}}{2\pi}$
Change in the angular momentum, $\Delta\text{L}=\frac{2\text{h}}{2\pi}-\frac{\text{h}}{2\pi}=\frac{\text{h}}{2\pi}$
$\therefore\Delta\text{T}=1.05\times10^{-34}\text{Js}$

Which of the following can be chosen to analogously represent the behavior of a particle?
  • A
    Metal rod
  • String
  • C
    Elastic rubber
  • D
    Glass rod
Answer
Correct option: B.
String

A string is used to represent the behavior of a particle analogously to the waves traveling on it.
Particle waves can lead to standing waves held under resonant conditions.
When a stationary string is plucked, it causes several wavelengths to be excited. But, we know that only the ones which have nodes at the ends will survive.

Which of the following parameters are the same for all hydrogen$-$like atoms and ions in their ground states?
  • A
    Radius of the orbit.
  • B
    Speed of the electron.
  • C
    Energy of the atom.
  • Orbital angular momentum of the electron.
Answer
Correct option: D.
Orbital angular momentum of the electron.
According to Bohr's atomic theory, the orbital angular momentum of an electron in a one$-$electron system is given by,
$\text{L}_\text{n}=\frac{\text{nh}}{2\pi}$
Here,
$n =$ Principal quantum number.
The angular momentum is independent of the atomic number of the one$-$electron system. Therefore, it is same for all hydrogen$-$like atoms and ions in their ground states. The other parameters given here are dependent on the atomic number of the hydrogen$-$like atom or ion taken.

MCQ 2171 Mark
The binding energy of a H-atom, considering an electron moving around a fixed nuclei $($proton$)$, is $\text{B}=-\frac{\text{me}^4}{8\text{n}^2\in_0^2\text{h}^2}. (m =$ electron mass$).$
If one decides to work in a frame of reference where the electron is at rest, the proton would be moving arround it. By similar arguments, the binding energy would be,
$\text{B}=-\frac{\text{me}^4}{8\text{n}^2\in_0^2\text{h}^2} (M =$ proton mass$)$
This last expression is not correct because:
  • A
    n would not be integral.
  • B
    Bohr$-$quantisation applies only to electron.
  • The frame in which the electron is at rest is not inertial.
  • D
    The motion of the proton would not be in circular orbits, even approximately.
Answer
Correct option: C.
The frame in which the electron is at rest is not inertial.

In a hydrogen atom, electron revolving around a fixed proton nucleus have some centripetal acceleration. Therefore its frame of reference is non$-$inertial. If the frame of reference, where the electron is at rest, the given expression is not true as it forms the non$-$inertial frame of reference.

The possible values of orbital quantum numbers are: $[$n is the principle quantum number$]$
  • from $0$ to $(n - 1)$
  • B
    from $0$ to $n$
  • C
    from $0$ to $(n + 1)$
  • D
    all of the above
Answer
Correct option: A.
from $0$ to $(n - 1)$

The orbital quantum number, $l,$ divides the shells up into smaller groups of subshells called orbitals. The orbital quantum number describes shape of subshells. The principal quantum number$(n)$ determines the possible values of l. For $n = 1$ i.e.$ K-$shell there is no subshell so, $l = 0$ i.e. $(n − 1)$. Hence, The possible values of orbital quantum numbers are from $0$ to $(n − 1).$
