JEE MAIN - Physics (2021 - 31st August Evening Shift - No. 5)

A free electron of 2.6 eV energy collides with a H+ ion. This results in the formation of a hydrogen atom in the first excited state and a photon is released. Find the frequency of the emitted photon. (h = 6.6 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$34 Js)
1.45 $$\times$$ 1016 MHz
0.19 $$\times$$ 1015 MHz
1.45 $$\times$$ 109 MHz
9.0 $$\times$$ 1027 MHz

Explanation

For every large distance P.E. = 0

& total energy = 2.6 + 0 = 2.6 eV

Finally in first excited state of H atom total energy = $$-$$3.4 eV

Loss in total energy = 2.6 $$-$$ ($$-$$3.4) = 6 eV

It is emitted as photon

$$\lambda = {{1240} \over 6} = 206$$ nm

$$f = {{3 \times {{10}^8}} \over {206 \times {{10}^{ - 9}}}}$$ = 1.45 $$\times$$ 1015 Hz

= 1.45 $$\times$$ 109 Hz
