Q41 / 104 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Atomic Physics

The velocity of the electrons liberated by electromagnetic radiation of wavelength λ=18.0 nm, from stationary He+ ions in the ground state, is

  • Correct answer
    A
    2.3×106 ms-1
  • B
    1.3×106 ms-1
  • C
    2.3×105 ms-1
  • D
    1.3×103 ms-1

Solution

Step I : Determine binding energy of electron :

As we know     E⁡ = - 1 3 . 6 Z 2 n 2 = - 1 3 . 6 2 2 1 2 For ground state

                           = – 54.4 eV

∴ The binding energy of electron is  Eb = – E = 54.4 eV

Step II : Determine kinetic energy of electron.

∴                T e⁡ = h⁡ c λ - E⁡ b

                       = 1 2 4 2 n meV 1 8 n m⁡ - 5 4 . 4 eV

                       = (69 – 54.4) eV = 14.6 eV

                        = 23.36 × 10–19 joule

∴                 T⁡ e⁡ = 1 2 mv 2

                       v⁡ = 2 Te⁡ m⁡

                         = 2 × 2 3 . 3 6 × 1 0 - 1 9 9 . 1 × 1 0 - 3 1 m/s = 2 . 3 × 1 0 6 m/s

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