An electron in an excited state of $Li^{2+}$ ion has angular momentum $\frac{3 h}{2 \pi}$. The de-Broglie wavelength of the electron in this state is $p \pi a_{0}$ (where, $a_{0} = \text{Bohr radius}$). The value of $p$ is

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.

$A$ hydrogen atom,initially at rest in its ground state,absorbs a photon of frequency $v_1$ and ejects the electron with a kinetic energy of $10 eV$. The electron then combines with a positron at rest to form a positronium atom in its ground state and simultaneously emits a photon of frequency $v_2$. The center of mass of the resulting positronium atom moves with a kinetic energy of $5 eV$. It is given that the positron has the same mass as that of the electron and the positronium atom can be considered as a Bohr atom,in which the electron and the positron orbit around their center of mass. Considering no other energy loss during the whole process,the difference between the two photon energies (in $eV$) is $....$ (in $.80$)

Assume that there is no repulsive force between the electrons in an atom,but the force between positive and negative charges is given by Coulomb's law as usual. Under such circumstances,calculate the ground state energy of a $He$ atom.
