Excited atoms emits radiations consisting of only certain discrete frequencies or
wavelengths. In spectroscopy it is often more convenient to use frequencies or wave
numbers than wavelength because frequencies and wave numbers are proportional to
energy, and spectroscopy involves transitions between different energy levels. The line
spectrum shown by an mono electronic excited atom (a finger print of an atom) can be
given as:

COMPREHENSION-II
The French physicist Louis de Broglie in 1924 postulated that matter, like radiation,
should exhibit a dual behavior. He proposed the following relationship between the
wavelength λ of a material particle, its linear momentum p and planck constant h.
h h
λ= =
p mv
The de Broglie relation implies that the wavelength of a particle should decrease as its
velocity increases. It also implies that for a given velocity heavier particles should have
shorter wavelength than lighter particles. The waves associated with particles in motion
are called matter waves or de Broglie waves. These waves differ from the electromagnetic
waves as they
(i) have lower velocities (ii) don't have electrical and magnetic fields and
(iii) are not emitted by the particle under consideration.
The experimental confirmation of the de Broglies relation was obtained when Davisson
and Gerber, in 1927, observed that a beam of electrons is diffracted by a nickel crystal.
As diffraction is a characteristic property of waves, hence, the beam of electron behaves
as a wave, as proposed by de broglie.

5. (A) According to the Bohr's atomic theory, the kinetic energy of an electron is
directly proportional to the square of the atomic number and inversely proportional
to the square of the principal quantum number. Thus the statement A is correct.
(B) The product of the velocity of electron and the principal quantum number is
proportional to Z. Thus the statement B is incorrect.
(C) Frequency of revolution of the electron in an orbit is directly proportional to
the square of the atomic number and inversely proportional to the cube of the
principal quantum number. Thus the statement C is correct.
(D) Coulombic force of attraction on the electron is directly proportional to the
square of the atomic number and inversely proportional to the fourth power of the
principal quantum number. Thus the statement D is correct.
6. (b) is correct because energy of orbital of hydrogen depends upon ' n ' and not on '
1 (c) is also correct as explained above
(ad) are not correct for H-atom.
7. The number of photons in the beam are independent of frequency since every
photon is independent and its energy is given by E = hf
8. (B) The expression m (h/2π) is that of z-component of angular momentum.
(C) The correct statement is as under:

No two electrons in an atom can have the same values of all the four quantum
numbers n, l, m and m .
(D) The azimuthal quantum number has the value 0,1,2, … , (n − 1).
9. (A) It decreases with increase in the value of atomic number as is evident from the
( / )
expression E = − .

(C) The deflection in a given electric field depends on the value of e/m. For β-
particles, e/m is larger than α-particles because electrons are much lighter than
He species.
10.The time period of the electron in a Bohr orbit is given by T = 2πr/v, where v is
the speed of the electron in the orbit. Since mvr = n(h/2π), we get
2πr 4π m
T= = r
nh/(2πmr) nh

The expression of Bohr radius of hydrogen atom is r = n

Hence T = =n

For two orbits =

Since T /T = 8, we will have n /n = 2.

11.Since it obsorbes ' n ' photons and also emits exactly n-photons therefore, transition
must have taken place from 1 to 2.
∴ Energy of photon = 10.2Z
where, Z = 1,2,3,4.
12.Since B is in infrared region and A has more energy than B hence, it will have
lesser wave length i.e., ultra violet, visible or infrared region.
13.Option (a) is incorrect because all photon have equal velocity which is 3 × 10sm/s
(speed of light).
We know,
For n = 4 possible values of l are 0,1,2,3.
where l is the azimuthal quantum no.

Radial nodes = ∑n − l − 1
Using all possible values of l and n = 4, we get,
Radial nodes = 3 + 2 + 1 + 0 = 6
Option (c) is incorrect because number of nodes in n th shell are 6 radial nodes,
Angular nodes = ∑1
Using all possible values of I for (n − 1) = 3rd, we get,
Angular nodes = 2 + 1 + 0 = 3
Option (d) is incorrect because number of angular nodes in (n-1)th shell is 3 .

De Broglie further said that electron can reside only in those orbits where the
number of waves are complete, because only in those orbits, in which the number
of waves are complete, the waves will be in phase i.e., constructive interference
will taken place i.e., wave will be there i.e., electron will be there. The orbits in
which number of waves will be incomplete, the waves will be out of phase i.e.,
destructive interference will take place and the orbit will automatically vanish.

(a) The number of waves around the orbit is a whole number (6) times the
wavelength.
(b) The number of waves around the orbit is not a while number multiple of the
wavelength. When the wave goes around the orbit many times, In cancles itself out.
Necessary condition for an electron to be present in an orbit is 2πr = nλ [for
complete waves in an orbit n can take only integral values i.e., if the number of
wave present in an orbit is n ].

But from Bohr theory n is number of orbit. So number of waves formed in any
orbit = orbit number.
De Broglie said that electron will be present only in those orbits where number of
waves are complete constructive interference will take place only in all those
orbits, to such orbits Bohr called them as stationary orbits and in these orbits
electrons does not radiate energy because of the formation of stationary waves
