Worked practice questions

For Bohr's hydrogen-like atom, what is the velocity of electron in n-th orbit (in terms of fine structure constant α and c)?

  1. v_n = c / Z
  2. v_n = c α Z / n (where α ≈ 1/137)
  3. v_n = c
  4. v_n = c × n
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. v_n = c α Z / n (where α ≈ 1/137)

v_n = (1/n) × (Zα c) where α = e²/(4πε₀ ħc) ≈ 1/137 is the fine structure constant. **For H ground state:** v₁ ≈ c/137 ≈ 2.19 × 10⁶ m/s. Relativistic effects small for light atoms, but become significant for heavy atoms (high Z).

In vacuum, the velocity of electromagnetic radiation is

  1. $3 \times 10^{8}\,m\,s^{-1}$
  2. $3 \times 10^{5}\,m\,s^{-1}$
  3. $3 \times 10^{6}\,m\,s^{-1}$
  4. $3 \times 10^{10}\,m\,s^{-1}$
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. $3 \times 10^{8}\,m\,s^{-1}$

All EM radiation travels at $c = 3 \times 10^{8}\,m\,s^{-1}$ in vacuum, regardless of wavelength.

The wave number of a photon of frequency $6 \times 10^{14}\,Hz$ (in vacuum) is

  1. $5 \times 10^{-7}\,m^{-1}$
  2. $2 \times 10^{6}\,m^{-1}$
  3. $2 \times 10^{4}\,m^{-1}$
  4. $1.8 \times 10^{23}\,m^{-1}$
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. $2 \times 10^{6}\,m^{-1}$

$\bar{\nu} = \nu/c = (6 \times 10^{14})/(3 \times 10^{8}) = 2 \times 10^{6}\,m^{-1}$.
