structure based on line spectra?
Q.  5

 Q.  6
A wave with a long wavelength will have a ______
frequency and _____ energy.
Q.  7
What is the energy of light if its frequency is 1.55 × 10 10 s−1?
 Answer to Q. 7

Using the formula for the energy of light, we have

E = hν
E = (6.626 × 10−34 J·s)(1.55 × 1010 s−1)
Seconds are in the numerator and the denominator, so they
cancel, leaving us with joules, the unit of energy. So

E = 1.03 × 10−23 J

This is an extremely small amount of energy — but this is for

only one light wave.
 Q.  8
The wavelength of a violet light is 400 nm. Calculate the
frequency and wavenumber.
  Answer to Q. 8
Given:
The wavelength of the violet light = 400 nm
To find:
The frequency and the wave number of the violet light used.

Solution:
The frequency is given as: ν = c/λ
Where c is the speed of light in vacuum. Therefore:
ν = 3 x 10⁸ ms-1/ 400*10⁻⁹ m = 7.5*10¹⁴ s-1 (Hz)
Wave number is given as: ṽ = 1/λ
w = 1/ 400*10⁻⁹ m = 2.5*10⁶ m⁻¹

energy of the emitted photo-electrons depends upon
(a) The time for which light falls on the metal
(b) Frequency of the incident light
(c) Intensity of the incident light
(d) Velocity of the incident light

Q.  11
Calculate the wavelength of the radiations emitted when an
electron in a hydrogen atom undergoes a transition
from 4th energy level to the 2nd energy level. In which part
of the electromagnetic spectrum does this line lie?
 Answer to Q. 11
Using Rydberg equation

On substituting n1​= 2, n2 ​= 4, R ​= 109678 cm-1  in equation,

Also, λ = ​

or λ = 486 nm
Hence, visible region is the answer
Q.  12
Calculate the wavelength in meters of an electron traveling at
3.66 x 106 m/s. The mass of an electron is 9.11 x 10-28 g.
 Answer to Q. 12
1) To calculate this we will use De Broglie wavelength
formula:
λ - the wavelength
λ=
h - Plank's constant: h = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ Js
v - speed
m - mass
It is given:
λ=?
m = 9.11 × 10⁻²⁸ g
v = 3.66 × 10⁶ m/s

λ=
