प्रश्न
Electrons are emitted from an electron gun at almost zero velocity and are accelerated by an electric field E through a distance of 1.0 m. The electrons are now scattered by an atomic hydrogen sample in ground state. What should be the minimum value of E so that red light of wavelength 656.3 nm may be emitted by the hydrogen?
उत्तर
Given:
Distance travelled by the electron, d = 1.0 m
Wavelength of red light ,λ = 656.3 nm = 656.3 × 10^-9 m
Since the given wavelength lies in Balmer series, the transition that requires minimum energy is from n1 = 3 to n2 = 2.
Energy of this transition will be equal to the energy (E) that will be required for the transition from the ground state to n = 3.
`E_1 = 13.6 (1/n_1^2 1/n_2^2)`
`rArr E_1 = 13.6 (1 - 1/9)`
`= (13.6xx8)/9 = 12.09 eV`
Energy, E (eV) = 12.09 eV
∴ `V = 12.09 V`
Electric field, `E = V/d = 12.09/1 = 12.09 V//m`
∴ Minimum value of the electric field = 12.09 V/m = 12.1 V/m

Classically, an electron can be in any orbit around the nucleus of an atom. Then what determines the typical atomic size? Why is an atom not, say, a thousand times bigger than its typical size? The question had greatly puzzled Bohr before he arrived at his famous model of the atom that you have learnt in the text. To simulate what he might well have done before his discovery, let us play as follows with the basic constants of nature and see if we can get a quantity with the dimensions of length that is roughly equal to the known size of an atom (~ 10−10 m).
(a) Construct a quantity with the dimensions of length from the fundamental constants e, me, and c. Determine its numerical value.
(b) You will find that the length obtained in (a) is many orders of magnitude smaller than the atomic dimensions. Further, it involves c. But energies of atoms are mostly in non-relativistic domain where c is not expected to play any role. This is what may have suggested Bohr to discard c and look for ‘something else’ to get the right atomic size. Now, the Planck’s constant h had already made its appearance elsewhere. Bohr’s great insight lay in recognising that h, me, and e will yield the right atomic size. Construct a quantity with the dimension of length from h, me, and e and confirm that its numerical value has indeed the correct order of magnitude.
