Question
The light emitted in the transition n = 3 to n = 2 in hydrogen is called Hα light. Find the maximum work function a metal can have so that Hα light can emit photoelectrons from it.
Solution
The Hα light can emit the photoelectrons if its energy is greater than or equal to the work function of the metal.
Energy possessed by Hα light (E) is given by
`E = 13.6 (1/n_1^2 - 1/n_2^2)eV`
`Here , n_1 = 2 , n_2 = 3`
`therefore E = 13.6 xx (1/4 - 1/4 )`
= `(13.6xx5)/36 = 1.89 eV`
= 1.90 eV
Hα light will be able to emit electron from the metal surface for the maximum work function of metal to be 1.90 eV.

For the ground state, the electron in the H-atom has an angular momentum = h, according to the simple Bohr model. Angular momentum is a vector and hence there will be infinitely many orbits with the vector pointing in all possible directions. In actuality, this is not true ______.
The inverse square law in electrostatics is |F| = `e^2/((4πε_0).r^2)` for the force between an electron and a proton. The `(1/r)` dependence of |F| can be understood in quantum theory as being due to the fact that the ‘particle’ of light (photon) is massless. If photons had a mass mp, force would be modified to |F| = `e^2/((4πε_0)r^2) [1/r^2 + λ/r]`, exp (– λr) where λ = mpc/h and h = `h/(2π)`.
