    Radius of the first Bohr orbit is given by the relation,

    r1 = 4πε0  (h/2π)²/mee² ————- Eq-1

    Where,

    Eo = Permittivity of free space

    h = Planck’s constant = 6.63 x 10-34 Js

    me= Mass of an electron = 9.1 x 10-³¹kg

    e = Charge of an electron = 1.9 x 1019 C

    mp= Mass of a proton = 1.67 x 10 27 kg

    r= Distance between the electron and the proton

    Coulomb attraction between an electron and a proton is given as:

    FC = e²/4πε0r²————-Eq-2

    Gravitational force of attraction between an electron and a proton is given as:

    FG =G mp me /r²   ——————- Eq-3                     ,

    Fc, =-^H-                                         -(3)

    Where, G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m2/kg2

    If the electrostatic (Coulomb) force and the gravitational force between an electron and a proton are equal, then we can write:

    Therefore , FG=FC

    =>    G mp me /r² = e²/4πε0r²

    Therefore ,

    e²/4πε0 =G mp me—————Eq-4

    Putting the value of equation (4) in equation (1),we get:

    r1= (h/2π)²/G mpe

    = [6.63 x 10-34/(2 x 3.14)]²/(6.67 x 10⁻¹¹) x (1.67 x 10 27) x (9.1 x 10-³¹

    ≈1.21 x 10²⁹
    It is known that the universe is 156 billion light years wide or 1.5 x 1027 m wide. Hence, we can conclude that the radius of the first Bohr orbit is much greater than the estimated size of the whole universe.

    Ans (a).

    about the same

    The average angle of deflection of a-particles by a thin gold foil predicted by Thomson’s model is about the same size as predicted by Rutherford’s model. This is because the average angle was taken in both models.

    Ans (b).much less

    The probability of scattering of a-particles at angles greater than 90° predicted by Thomson’s model is much less than that predicted by Rutherford’s model.

    Ans (c).

    Scattering is mainly due to single collisions. The chances of a single collision increases linearly with the number of target atoms. Since the number of target atoms increase with an increase in thickness, the collision probability depends linearly on the thickness of the target.

    Ans (d).

    Thomson’s model

    It is wrong to ignore multiple scattering in Thomson’s model for the calculation of average angle of scattering of a-particles by a thin foil. This is because a single collision causes very little deflection in this model. Hence, the observed average scattering angle can be explained only by considering multiple scattering.

    Rdius of the orbit of the Earth around the Sun, r= 1.5 x 1011 m

    Orbital speed of the Earth, v = 3 x 104 m/s

    Mass of the Earth, m = 6.0 x 10²4 kg

    According to Bohr’s model, angular momentum is quantized and given as:

    mvr = nh/2π

    Where,

    h = Planck’s constant = 6.62 x 10⁻34 Js

    n = Quantum number

    Therefore , n = mvr2π/h

    = 2π x (6.0 x 10²4 ) x (3 x 104 ) x (1.5 x 1011) /(6.62 x 10⁻34)

    = 25.61 x 10⁷³= 2.6 x 10⁷⁴

    Hence, the quanta number that characterizes the Earth’ revolution is 2.6 x 1074.

    It is given that the energy of the electron beam used to bombard gaseous hydrogen at room temperature is 12.5 eV. Also, the energy of the gaseous hydrogen in its ground state at room temperature is -13.6 eV.

    When gaseous hydrogen is bombarded with an electron beam, the energy of the gaseous hydrogen becomes -13.6 + 12.5 eV i.e.,

    -1.1 eV.

    Orbital energy is related to orbit level (n) as:

    E = -13.6/(n)² eV

    For n=3 ,

    E = -13.6/9 = -1.5 eV

    This energy is approximately equal to the energy of gaseous hydrogen. It can be concluded that the electron has jumped from n = 1 to n = 3 level.

    During its de-excitation, the electrons can jump from n = 3 to n = 1 directly, which forms a line of the Lyman series of the hydrogen spectrum.

    We have the relation for wave number for Lyman series as:

    1/λ =Ry (1/1²   –  1/n²)

    Where,

    Ry = Rydberg constant = 1.097 x 107 m⁻1

    λ= Wavelength of radiation emitted by the transition of tile electron. For n = 3, we can obtain λ as:

    1/λ = 1.097 x 107 (1/1²   –  1/3²)

    = 1.097 x 10(1-1/9) = 1.097 x 10(8/9)

    λ =9/8 x ( 1.097 x 10) = 102.55 nm

    if the electron jumps from n = 2 to n = 1, then the wavelength of the radiation is given as:

    1/λ = 1.097 x 107 (1/1²   –  1/2²)

    = 1.097 x 10(1-1/4) = 1.097 x 10(3/4)

    λ = 4/( 1.097 x 10)x(3) = 121.54 nm
    If the transition takes place from n = 3 to n = 2, then the wavelength of the radiation is given as:
    1/λ =1.097 x 10(1/2²-1/3²)

    = 1.097 x 107  (1/4 -1/9) =(1.097 x 10) x 5/36

    λ= 36/ (5 x 1.097 x 107) = 656.33 nm

    This radiation corresponds to the Balmer series of the hydrogen spectrum.

    Hence ,in Lyman series ,two wavelengths i.e. 102.5 nm and 121.5nm are emitted .And in the Balmer series, one wavelength i.e.,656.33nm is emitted.

    The radius of the innermost orbit of a hydrogen atom, r1 = 5.3 x 10⁻11 m.

    Let r2 be the radius of the orbit at n = 2. It is related to the radius of the innermost orbit as:

    r2 = (n)²r1

    = 4 x 5.3 x 10⁻¹¹ = 2.12 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

    For n = 3, we can write the corresponding electron radius as:

    r3 = (n)²r1

    = 9 x 5.3 x 10⁻¹¹=4.77 x 10⁻10 m

    Hence, the radii of an electron for n = 2 and n = 3 orbits are 22.12 x 10⁻¹⁰ m and 4.77 x 10⁻10 m respectively.
