Q42 / 104 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Atomic Physics
An electron of a stationary hydrogen atom (mass = ) jumps from the fifth energy level to the ground level. As a result, the atom emits a photon and recoils with some velocity. The velocity that the atom acquires as a result of photon emission is [ = Planck's constant, = Rydberg's constant]
- Correct answerA
- B
- C
- D
Solution
Here,
(where Rydberg's constant, Planck's constant and speed of light in vacuum)
But
(where Rydberg's constant, Planck's constant and speed of light in vacuum)
But
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
