Which electron transitions in singly ionized helium yield photon in the 450 - 500(blue) portion of the visible range, and what are their wavelengths?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Wavelength of the photons corresponding to transitions 4→3,8→4,9→4in the given range are , and respectively.

Step by step solution

01

Energies in the range 450- 500 nm :

When an electron transitions from a higher orbit to the lower orbit, it loses energy in the form of photons. And the energy of that photon is equal to the difference in energy of the transition states in which the transition is observed.

As you know that, energy of a photon
E=hcλ

Where, his Planck's constant, cis the speed of light, and localid="1659382795937" λwavelength of photon emitted.

Here, the numerical value of is given by,

hc=1240eV.nm

Define the energy atlocalid="1659618186089" 450nm as below.
E=hcλ=1240eV.nm450nm=2.76eV

Define the energy at450 as below.

E=hcλ=1240eV.nm500nm=2.49eV

02

Energies of electron in different orbits:

As you know that Energy of an electron in ‘n’ th orbit is given by,
E=-z213.6eVn2(n=1,2,3............)


Where, zis the atomic number of hydrogen-like atom andn is the principal quantum number.

En=-2213.6eVn2
En=-54.4eVn2 .......(1)
Now, using equation (1), you get.

E1=-54.4eV,E2=-13.6eV,E3=6.04eV,E4=3.4eV,E5=2.18eV,E6=1.51eV.E7=1.11eV,E8=0.85eV,E9=0.67eV,E10=0.54eV,...


03

Energies transmitted in the range 2.76 eV and 2.49 eV:

From step 2, you get,

The transitions4→3.8→4.9→4will correspond to energieslocalid="1659618569980" 2.64eV, 2.55eVand 2.73eVwhich are in the given range.

04

Wavelength of the transmissions:

ifE=hcλ

For4→32.64eV=1240eV.nmλλ=470nm


localid="1659381996658" For8→42.55eV=1240eV.nmλ
λ=487nm




For9→42.73eV=1240eV.nmλλ=455nm

05

Conclusion:

Wavelengths of the photons corresponding to transitions 4→3.8→4.9→4in the given range are470nm, 487nm and 455 nm respectively.

A supersonic: - plane travels al 420 m/s. As this plane passes two markers a distance of 4.2km apart on the ground, how will the time interval registered on a very precise clock onboard me plane differ from 10s?

Calculate the probability that the electron in a hydrogen atom would be found within 30 degrees of the xy-plane, irrespective of radius, for (a) I=0 ,m1=0; (b) role="math" localid="1660014331933" I=1,mI=±1and (c) I=2,mI=±2. (d) As angular momentum increases, what happens to the orbits whose z-components of angular momentum are the maximum allowed?

If things really do have a dual wave-particle nature, then if the wave spreads, the probability of finding the particle should spread proportionally, independent of the degree of spreading, mass, speed, and even Planck’s constant. Imagine that a beam of particles of mass m and speedv, moving in the x direction, passes through a single slit of width w . Show that the angle θ1at which the first diffraction minimum would be found ( nλ=wsinθn, from physical optics) is proportional to the angle at which the particle would likely be deflected θ≅∆pyp , and that the proportionality factor is a pure number, independent of m, v, w and h . (Assume small angles: sinθ≅tanθ≅θ).

For waves on the surf ace of water, the behaviour of long wavelengths is dominated by gravitational effects-a liquid "seeking its own level." Short wavelengths are dominated by surface tension effects. Taking both into account, the dispersion relation isÓ¬=gk+(γ/ÒÏ)k3. whereγis the surface tension,p is the density of water, and gis, of course, the gravitational acceleration?

  1. Make a qualitative sketch of group velocity versus wave number. How does it behave for very large k? For very small k?
  2. (b) Find the minimum possible group velocity and the wavelength at which it occurs.Useγ=0.072 N/m,ÒÏ=103 kg/m3andg=9.8 m/s2.

Prove that fur any sine function sin(kx+ϕ)of wavelength shorter than 2a, where ais the atomic spacing. there is a sine function with a wavelength longer than 2a that has the same values at the points x = a , 2a , 3a . and so on. (Note: It is probably easier to work with wave number than with wavelength. We sick to show that for every wave number greater than there is an equivalent less than π/a.)
