A free hydrogen atom after absorbing a photon of wavelength λa gets excited from state n = 1 to n = 4. Immediately after electron jumps to n = m state by emitting a photon of wavelength λe. Let change in momentum of atom due to the absorption and the emission are ΔPa and Δpe respectively. If λa/ λe = 1/5. Which of the following is correct

a) m = 2 b) ΔPa/Pe = 1/2 c) λe = 418 nm d) Ratio of K.E. of electron in the state n = m to n = 1 is ¼. Answer: a::d... View Article

A dipole of Dipole moment [latex]p = frac{p_0}{sqrt 2}(hat i + hat j)[/latex] is placed at origin. Now a uniform external electric field at magnitude E0 is applied along direction of dipole. Two points A and B are lying on a equipotential surface of radius R centered at origin. A is along axial position of dipole and B is along equatorial position. There correct option are:

a) Net electric field at point A is 3E0 b) Net electric field at point B is Zero c) Radius of equatorial surface R = (kp0/E0)1/3 d) Radius... View Article
