In a hydrogen atom,if an electron in the orbit with principal quantum number $n$ jumps to the first excited state,the wavelength of the emitted photon is $\lambda$. Then the value of $n$ is (where $R$ is the Rydberg constant).

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{4 \lambda R}{\lambda R+4}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{4 \lambda R}{\lambda R-4}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{\lambda R-4}{4 \lambda R}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{\lambda R+4}{4 \lambda R}}$

In the Auger process,an atom makes a transition to a lower state without emitting a photon. The excess energy is transferred to an outer electron which may be ejected by the atom. (This is called an Auger electron). Assuming the nucleus to be massive,calculate the kinetic energy of an $n = 4$ Auger electron emitted by Chromium by absorbing the energy from an $n = 2$ to $n = 1$ transition.

In Bohr's atomic model,the electron is assumed to revolve in a circular orbit of radius $0.5 \times 10^{-10} \; m$. If the speed of the electron is $2.2 \times 10^{6} \; m/s$,then the current associated with the electron will be $.... \times 10^{-2} \; mA$. [Take $\pi$ as $\frac{22}{7}$]

Consider an electron in a hydrogen atom,revolving in its second excited state (having radius $4.65 \, \mathring{A}$). The de-Broglie wavelength of this electron is .... $\mathring{A}$.

According to Bohr's theory,the expressions for the kinetic and potential energy of an electron revolving in an orbit are given respectively by:

What is the ratio of the wavelengths emitted during the $2 \to 1$ transition in $Li^{++}$,$He^+$,and $H$?
