According to Bohr's theory of hydrogen atom, total energy of electron in a stationary orbit is \(E=-\frac { 13.6 }{ { n }^{ 2 } } eV,\) where n is the number of orbit. Clearly, total energy of electron in a stationary orbit is negative, which means the electron is bound to the nucleus and is not free to leave it. An n increases, value of negative energy decreases, i.e., energy is progressively larger in the outer orbits.
Read the above passage and answer the following questions :
(i) What is total energy of electron in ground state of hydrogen atom? What does it imply?
(ii) Energy required to remove an electron is smaller when atoms is in any one excited state. Comment.
(iii) How is this concept translated in day to day life?

The main aim of Davisson and Germer was to study about nickel surface by directing beam of electrons at its surface and note the number of electrons that bounced off at different angles. The carried out their experiment inside a vacuum chamber where an air after entering the chamber gives an oxide film on nickel surface. Again the does their experiment and found that the electrons which hits the nickel surface were scattered by atoms that appears from crystal planes in nickel crystal. By doing their regular experiment, Davisson and Germer's at once found diffraction of electrons which was an initial proof that confirm about de Broglie's hypothesis and shows wave properties in particles.
(a) What can we infer about the values shown by Davisson and Germer?

Given , E = 12.5MeV = 12.5 x 1.6 x 10-13J
For gold Z = 79
Since \(r_0{1\over4\pi\epsilon_0}{2e^2\over E}\) (for particle charge = 2e)
or \(r_0={9\times10^9\times2\times79\times1.6\times1.6\times10^{-38}\over12.5\times1.6\times10^{-13}}\)
= 1.8 x 10-14 m.
7.
Given, \(\phi_{0}=2.0 \mathrm{eV} ; h-6.63 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~J}-\mathrm{s}, \mathrm{KE}_{\max }-?\)
In one complete vibration twice the electric field becomes zero, so the frequency of incident light is given by
\(\mathrm{V}=\frac{1}{2} \times 2.4 \times 10^{15}=1.2 \times 10^{15} \mathrm{~Hz}\)
Hence, maximum kinetic energy,
\(\mathrm{KE}_{\max }=h v-\phi_{0}=\frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times 1.2 \times 10^{15}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}-2=2.97 \mathrm{eV}\)
8.
\((a)\quad \lambda =\frac { h }{ \sqrt { 2Km } } \ or \ K=\frac { { h }^{ 2 } }{ 2{ \lambda }^{ 2 }m }\)
\(K=\frac { { \left( 6.63\times { 10 }^{ -34 } \right) }^{ 2 } }{ 2\times { \left( 1.4\times { 10 }^{ -10 } \right) }^{ 2 }\times 1.675\times { 10 }^{ -27 } } =6.634\times { 10 }^{ -21 }J\)
(ii) Kinetic energy associated with temperature
\(\mathrm{KE}=\frac{3}{2} k T=\frac{3}{2}\left(1.38 \times 10^{-23}\right) \times 300\)
= 6.21 x 10-21J
[\(\because\) absolute temperature, T = 300K and Boltzmann's constant, k =1.38 x 10-23J / K]
KE =6.21 x 10-21J
de-Broglie wavelength associated with kinetic energy,
\(\lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m_{n} \mathrm{KE}}}=\frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2 \times 1.675 \times 10^{-27} \times 6.21 \times 10^{-21}}}\)
\(=1.45 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}=1.45 \dot A\)

(i) The ionosphere can act as a 'reflector' only for e.m. waves of frequencies upto 30 to 40 MHz. Higher frequency e.m. waves penetrate the atmosphere an escape.
(ii) The range is (fairly) limited because the e.m waves loose energy (fairly rapidly) when they glide over the surface of the earth.
(iii) This is because of the presence of a network of base stations' / cells' which keep on passing the signals from one base station/cell to the other
10.
In photoelectric emission, \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } { mv }^{ 2 }=hv-{ \phi }_{ 0 }\)
The increase in frequency v of the incident photon. Since the work function \({ \phi }_{ 0 }\)of a given photosensitive surface being fixed, therefore the kinetic energy of the photoelectron increases with increase in the frequency of incident light due to it, the velocity v of photoelectrons increases.
11.
This is because nuclear fusion requires temperatures as high as \({ 10 }^{ 6 }-{ 10 }^{ 7 }\ K\). Such high temperature is often generated in nuclear fission. That is why fission proceeds fusion. These processes cannot be carried out in laboratory.
12.
Diode D1 is forward biased while diode D2 is reverse biased. Hence the resistances of (ideal) diodes 01 and D2 can be taken as zero and infinity respectively. The given circuit can therefore be redrawn as shown in the figure.

∴ Using ohm's law
1 = \({6\over(2+1)}2A\)
\(\therefore\) Current following in the 1 \(\Omega \) resistor, is 2 A.
13.
(i) For ground state, n = 1
\(\therefore E=\frac { -13.6 }{ { n }^{ 2 } } eV= \ \frac { -13.6 }{ { I }^{ 2 } } eV= \ -13.6 \ eV\)
It implies that 13.6 eV energy is required to remove an electron from hydrogen atom in its ground state.
(ii) In first excited state, n = 2,
\(\therefore \ E=-\frac { 13.6 }{ { 2 }^{ 2 } } eV \ = \ -3.4eV\)
It means that energy required to remove an electron from hydrogen atom in first excited state is 3.4 eV, which is less than 13.6 eV. Therefore, the statement is true.
(iii) Negative energy of electron indicates that it is bound to the nucleus and cannot leave it until energy equal to its negative energy is supplied from outside. The same is true in day to day life. A person intending to leave the country has to show that nothing is pending against him in a court of law, and he has cleared income tax/sales tax payments due from him. A person from whom any type of payment is due, is not free to leave the country. He is bound till he clears all his dues.
14.
(i) Radio wave communication system.
(ii) Use of scientific and technological advancement in service to mankind.
(iii) Patriotism and love for the country, presence of mind.
(iv) Television communication system.
15.
