For Bohr’s model of the hydrogen atom, the energy of electron in its ground state is found to be-13.6 eV.
(i) Draw an energy level diagram for the hydrogen atom and mark the values of energy (in eV) at n = 2 and n = ∝.
(ii) Obtain the maximum energy of a photon emitted by the hydrogen atom in eV.
i)
The energy level diagram is as shown below:
(ii)
Energy of electron in ground level is - 13.6 e V. Maximum energy of the photon emitted by the hydrogen atom is,
Emax = Ei - Ef
(i) On what does the minimum wavelength of the continuous x-ray spectrum depend
(ii) When the filament current is increased, the intensity of the x-ray produced increases. Why?
(iii) Why is the structure of crystals studied by x-rays ?
