Q27 / 201 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Atomic Physics

A hydrogen atom is in fifth excited state. When the electron jumps to ground state, the velocity of recoiling hydrogen atom is

  • A
    1.1 m s-1
  • Correct answer
    B
    4.2 m s-1
  • C
    8.4 m s-1
  • D
    11.2 m s-1

Solution

ΔE=13.6112-162
ΔE=13.22 eV
p=ΔEc
⇒  v=ΔEmC=13.22×1.6×10–191.67×10–27×3×108=4.2 m s-1

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
