The Kα - X ray of molybdenum has wavelength 0.071 nm. If the energy of a molybdenum atom with a K electron knocked out is 27.5 keV, the energy of this atom when an L electron is knocked out will be _____ keV. (Round off to the nearest integer)
[h = 4.14 * 10⁻¹⁵ eVs, c = 3 * 10⁸ ms⁻¹]

E_K - E_L = hc/λ_Kα
E_K - E_L = (4.14*10? ¹? * 3*10? )/0.071*10? = 17500 eV = 17.5 keV.
E_L = E_K - 17.5 = 27.5 - 17.5 = 10 keV.

An electron and proton are separated by a large distance. The electron starts approaching the proton with energy 3 eV. The proton captures the electron and forms a hydrogen atom in second excited state. The resulting photon is incident on a photosensitive metal of threshold wavelength 4000 Å. What is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectron?

Energy of electron = 3 eV
It forms H atom in n=3 state. Energy released E = 3 - (-13.6/9) = 3 + 1.51 = 4.51 eV.
Photon Energy = 4.51 eV
Threshold energy = hc/λ = 12400eVÅ / 4000Å = 3.1 eV.
kE_max = 4.51 - 3.1 = 1.41 eV

In Bohr's atomic model, the electron is assumed to revolve in a circular orbit of radius 0.5 Å. If the speed of electron is 2.2 * 10? m/s, then the current associated with the electron will be _______ * 10?² mA. [Take π as 22/7]

r = 0.5Å = 0.5*10? ¹? m
v = 2.2*10? m/s
I =?
t = 2πr/v
I = e/t = ev/2πr = (1.6*10? ¹? * 2.2*10? )/ (2 * 22/7 * 0.5*10? ¹? )
I ≈ 1.12*10? ³ A = 1.12 mA = 112 * 10? ² mA

$Δ E = 13.6 (\frac{1}{1^{2}} - \frac{1}{5^{2}}) = 13.6 * \frac{24}{25} e V$

$\Rightarrow \frac{h c}{λ} = 13.6 * \frac{24}{25} e V . . . . . . . . . . (1)$

With the help of conservation of linear momentum, we can write

$\frac{h}{λ} = m_{H} v_{H} \Rightarrow \frac{h c}{λ} = c m_{H} v_{H} \Rightarrow v_{H} = \frac{\frac{h c}{λ}}{c m_{H}} = \frac{13.6 * \frac{24}{25} * 1.6 * 1 0^{- 19}}{3 * 1 0^{8} * 1.67 * 1 0^{- 27}} = 4.17 m / s$

Lyman Series n_f = 1, ni = 2, 3.

Paschen series n_f = 3, ni = 4, 5, 6 -

$\frac{1}{λ_{1}} = R Z^{2} (\frac{1}{1^{2}} - \frac{1}{4^{2}})$

$\frac{1}{λ_{2}} = R Z^{2} (\frac{1}{3^{2}} - \frac{1}{4^{2}})$

$\frac{1 / λ_{1}}{1 / λ_{2}} = \frac{1 - \frac{1}{16}}{\frac{1}{9} - \frac{1}{16}} \Rightarrow \frac{λ_{2}}{λ_{1}} = \frac{\frac{15}{16}}{\frac{7}{9 * 16}} = \frac{15 * 9}{7} \Rightarrow \frac{λ_{1}}{λ_{2}} = \frac{7}{135}$
