An electron rotates in a circle around a nucleus having positive charge $Ze$. The correct relation between the total energy $(E)$ of the electron and its potential energy $(U)$ is:

  • A
    $E = 2U$
  • B
    $2E = 3U$
  • C
    $E = U$
  • D
    $2E = U$

In the Auger process,an atom makes a transition to a lower state without emitting a photon. The excess energy is transferred to an outer electron which may be ejected by the atom. (This is called an Auger electron). Assuming the nucleus to be massive,calculate the kinetic energy of an $n = 4$ Auger electron emitted by Chromium by absorbing the energy from an $n = 2$ to $n = 1$ transition.

$A$ stationary hydrogen atom undergoes a transition from $n=5$ to $n=4$. The recoil speed of the atom is (where $R=$ Rydberg constant,$h=$ Planck's constant,and $m=$ mass of the hydrogen atom).

Consider an electron in the $n=3$ orbit of a hydrogen-like atom with atomic number $Z$. At absolute temperature $T$,a neutron having thermal energy $k_B T$ has the same de Broglie wavelength as that of this electron. If this temperature is given by $T = \frac{Z^2 h^2}{\alpha \pi^2 a_0^2 m_N k_B}$,(where $h$ is the Planck's constant,$k_B$ is the Boltzmann constant,$m_N$ is the mass of the neutron and $a_0$ is the first Bohr radius of hydrogen atom),then the value of $\alpha$ is $....$

According to Bohr's theory,the time-averaged magnetic field at the centre (i.e.,nucleus) of a hydrogen atom due to the motion of electrons in the $n^{th}$ orbit is proportional to ($n =$ principal quantum number).

The wavelength for an electron in an orbit of a hydrogen atom is $10^{-9} \ m$. The principal quantum number for this electron is:
