Numericals Problems

Question 1.
Calculate the Kinetic energy of a moving electron which has a wavelength of 4.9 pm.
Mass of Electron=9.11 × 10-31 kg
Plank's Constant (h)=6.63 × 10-34 J-s

Answer

Using
$\lambda = \frac {h}{mV}$
or
$V= \frac {h}{m \lambda}$
Subsituting the values
V=.1516 × 109 m/s
Kinetic energy = $\frac {1}{2}mV^2 $
Subtituting the value of V and m
K.E=1.047 × 10-14 J


Question 2.
Calculate the wavelength and energy of the radiation emitted for the electronic transition from fourth orbit to stationary state 1 of He+ ion.
RH=1 × 107 m-1
Plank's Constant (h)=6.63 × 10-34 J-s

Answer

Using
$\frac {1}{\lambda} = R_H Z^2 (\fracc{1}{n_1^2} - \fracc{1}{n_2^2})$
Substituting the values $n_1 =2$ and $n_2=4$, Z=1
$\lambda =.2667 \times 10^{-7}$ m
Now energy is given by
$E= \frac {hc}{\lambda} = 74.47 \times 10^{-20} $ J/atom


Question 3.
what will be the wavelength of a ball of mass .1 kg moving with velocity 10 m/s?

Answer

Using de-broglie relation
$\lambda = \frac {h}{p} = \frac {h}{mV}$
Substituting the values
$\lambda = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} $ m


Question 4.
Calculate the wave number for the longest wavelength transition in the balmer series of atomic hydrogen ( Ans $1.525 \times 10^6 m^{-1}$)

Question 5.
An electron is moving with the kinetic energy of 2.275 × 10-25 J. Calculate its De-Broglie wavelength?
Mass of Electron=9.11 × 10-31 kg
Plank's Constant (h)=6.63 × 10-34 J-s

Answer

Now
$K= \frac {1}{2}mV^2$
or
V = \sqrt {\frac {2K}{m}}$
Subsituting the values
V=.7 × 103 m/s
Now De-Broglie wavelength is given by
$\lambda = \frac {h}{p} = \frac {h}{mV}$
Substituting the values
$\lambda = 1.036 \times 10^{-6} $ m


Question 6.
A photon ($\lambda = 4 \times 10^{-7} \ m$) strikes a metal surface of Work function(W=2.13 eV).Calculate
(i) Energy of Photon in eV
(ii) K.E of the emission
(iii)Velocity of the photoelectron
1 eV=1.6020 × 10-19 J
Plank's Constant (h)=6.63 × 10-34 J-s
Mass of Electron=9.11 × 10-31 kg

Answer

(i) $E= h \nu= \frac {hc}{\lambda}$
Substituting the values
$E=3.1 eV$
(ii) From Photo-electric effect equation
K= E - W= 3.1 - 2.13 =.97 eV
(iii) Now
$\frac {1}{2}mV^2 =.97 \times 1.6020 \times 10^{-19}$
Substituting the values
v=5.84 × 105 m/s


Question 7.
Calculate the uncertainty in the momentum of an electron if it is confined to a linear region of length $1 \times 10^{-10}$ metre.

Answer

According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle,
$\Delta x \Delta p \ge \frac {h}{2 \pi}$
Here $\Delta x =1 \times 10^{-10}$ m
Plank's Constant (h)=6.63 × 10-34 J-s
Therefore uncertainty in the momentum of an electron will be
$\Delta p \ge \frac {h}{2 \pi \Delta x}$
or
$\Delta p \ge 5.27 \times 10^{-25} \ kgms^-1$
Therefore uncertainty in the momentum of an electron =$5.27 \times 10^{-25} \ kgms^-1$


Question 8.
Calculate
(i)first excitation energy of the electron in the hydrogen atom
(ii) Ionization energy of the hydrogen atom

Answer

The energy of the electron in the nth shell of hydrogen atom is given by
$E_n= - \frac {2 \pi ^2 me^4}{n^2 h^2}= - \frac {1.312 \times 10^6}{n^2} J/mol$
(i) First excitation energy is the amount of energy required to excite the electron from n = 1 (ground state) to n = 2 (first excited state)
$\Delta E = E_2 - E_1 $
$E_2= - \frac {1.312 \times 10^6}{2^2}$
$E_1= - \frac {1.312 \times 10^6}{1^2}$
Therefore
$\Delta E = 9.84 \times 10^5 $ J/mol
(ii) Ionization energy is the amount of energy required to remove the electron from n=1 to $n=\infty$
$\Delta E = E_{\infty} - E_1 $
$E_{\infty}= - \frac {1.312 \times 10^6}{(\infty)^2}=0$
$E_1= - \frac {1.312 \times 10^6}{1^2}$
Therefore
$\Delta E = 1.312 \times 10^6 $ J/mol


Question 9.
Calculate the velocity of an electron placed in the third orbit of the hydrogen atom.Also Calculate the number of revolution per second that this electron makes around the nucleus?

Answer

Radius is given by
$r_n= n^2 \times .529 \times 10^{-10} $ m
$r_3= 3^2 \times .529 \times 10^{-10}=4.761 \times 10^{-10} \ m$
Now
$mvr= \frac {nh}{2 \pi}$
or
$v= \frac {nh}{2 \pi m r}$
Substituting the values
$v=7.29 \times 10^5$ m/s
Number of Revolutions per sec
$= \frac {v}{2 \pi r}$
Substituting the values
$=2.4 \times 10^{14} $ rev/sec


Question 10.
Electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 242 nm is just sufficient to ionize the sodium atom. Calculate the ionisation energy of Sodium in KJ/mol

Answer

Ionization energy will be equal to energy possessed by the Electromagnetic radiation
$E= \frac {hc}{\lambda}$
Substituting the values
$E=8.21 \times 10^{-19}$ J
Now This is the energy per atom
Energy per Mole
$E=8.21 \times 10^{-19} \times 6.023 \times 10^{23} = 494000$ J = 494 KJ
