Show that of hydrogen鈥檚 spectral series鈥擫yman, Balmer, Paschen, and so on鈥攐nly the four Balmer lines of Section 3 are in visible range (400-700nm)

Short Answer

Expert verified

It is shown that only the first four lines of the Balmer series are in the visible range, that is between 400-700nm.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The frequency range of the visible spectrum is 400-700nm.

02

Wavelength of Hydrogen lines

The wavelength of emission when electron jumps from orbit n1 to n2orbit is

role="math" localid="1659966880476" =R-1(1n12-1n22)-1.....(I)

Here R is the Rydberg constant of value

R=1.097107m-1

03

Determining the wavelength of Hydrogen lines in the visible range

For Lyman series n1=1. The maximum wavelength obtained from Lyman series is when n2=2the value of which from equation (I) is

=1.097107m- 1-1112-122-1=121.5nm

This is less than the visible range. So Lyman series is not in the visible range.

For Paschen series n1=3. The minimum wavelength obtained from Paschen series is when n2=the value of which from equation (I) is

=1.097107m- 1-1132-1-1=820.4nm

This is greater than the visible range. So Paschen series is not in the visible range. Thus only the Balmer series can be in the visible range.

For Balmer series n1=2. The wavelength of the first line obtained from the Balmer series is when n2=3the value of which from equation (I) is

=1.097107m- 1-1122-132-1=656.3nm

The wavelength of the second line obtained from the Balmer series is when n2=4the value of which from equation (I) is

=1.097107m- 1-1122-142-1=486.2nm

The wavelength of the third line obtained from the Balmer series is when n2=5 the value of which from equation (I) is

=1.097107m- 1-1122-152-1=434.1nm

The wavelength of the fourth line obtained from the Balmer series is when n2=6the value of which from equation (I) is

=1.097107m- 1-1122-162-1=410.2nm

The wavelength of the fifth line obtained from the Balmer series is when n2=7the value of which from equation (I) is

=1.097107m- 1-1122-172-1=397nm

Thus only the first four lines are in the visible range

Consider an electron in the ground state of a hydrogen atom. (a) Sketch plots of E and U(r) on the same axes (b) Show that, classically, an electron with this energy should not be able to get farther than 2a0from the proton. (c) What is the probability of the electron being found in the classically forbidden region?

An electron confinedtoa cubic 3D infinite well 1 nu on aside.

  2. To how many different states do these three energies correspond?

Exercise 81 obtained formulas for hydrogen like atoms in which the nucleus is not assumed infinite, as in the chapter, but is of mass m1, whilem2is the mass of the orbiting negative charge. In positronium, an electron orbits a single positive charge, as in hydrogen, but one whose mass is the same as that of the electron -- a positron. Obtain numerical values of the ground state energy and 鈥淏ohr radius鈥 of positronium.

A comet of 1014kg mass describes a very elliptical orbit about a star of mass31030kg , with its minimum orbit radius, known as perihelion, being role="math" localid="1660116418480" 1011m and its maximum, or aphelion, 100 times as far. When at these minimum and maximum

radii, its radius is, of course, not changing, so its radial kinetic energy is 0, and its kinetic energy is entirely rotational. From classical mechanics, rotational energy is given by L22I, where Iis the moment of inertia, which for a 鈥減oint comet鈥 is simply mr2.

(a) The comet鈥檚 speed at perihelion is6.2945104m/s . Calculate its angular momentum.

(b) Verify that the sum of the gravitational potential energy and rotational energy are equal at perihelion and aphelion. (Remember: Angular momentum is conserved.)

(c) Calculate the sum of the gravitational potential energy and rotational energy when the orbit radius is 50 times perihelion. How do you reconcile your answer with energy conservation?

(d) If the comet had the same total energy but described a circular orbit, at what radius would it orbit, and how would its angular momentum compare with the value of part (a)?

(e) Relate your observations to the division of kinetic energy in hydrogen electron orbits of the same nbut different I.

Calculate the electric dipole moment p and estimate the transition time for a hydrogen atom electron making an electric dipole transition from the to the (n,l,m)=(2,1,+1) ground state. Comment on the relationship of the result to that in Example 7.11.
