Sushil Kumar answered |
Answer :- a
Solution :- For a single scatterer, such as a single gold nucleus within a thin gold foil layer, the differential scattering cross section is defined as follows [2]:
dσ(θ, φ)/dΩ = flux scattered into element dΩ at angles (θ, φ)/incident flux per unit area
dσ/dΩ = (Iθ × A)/ (dΩ × I0 × NAvo × ρ × x(foil))........... (1)
where NAvo is Avogadro’s number, xfoil is the thickness of the target foil, A is the atomic mass of the material in the target foil, dΩ is the solid-angle of the detector, I0 is the unattenuated intensity of the alpha particle beam.
dσ/dΩ = [(ZZ0 e^2/4E )^2]/(1/sin^4(θ/2 ))
dσ/dΩ is directly proportional to 1/sin^4(θ/2 )

Statement i. Radius of Bohr's orbit of hydrogen atom is given by
r= n2h2/4π2mKze2
or, r=(0.59A˚)(n2/z)
So, from expression we found r∝n2
Hence the 1st statement is correct.
Statement ii.
We know that
En=-13.6 x z2/n2
So, En ∝1/n2
Hence the 2nd statement is wrong.
Statement iii.Bohr defined these stable orbits in his second postulate. According to this postulate:
r= n2h2/4π2mKze2
or, r=(0.59A˚)(n2/z)
So, from expression we found r∝n2
Hence the 1st statement is correct.
Statement ii.
We know that
En=-13.6 x z2/n2
So, En ∝1/n2
Hence the 2nd statement is wrong.
Statement iii.Bohr defined these stable orbits in his second postulate. According to this postulate:
- An electron revolves around the nucleus in orbits
- The angular momentum of revolution is an integral multiple of h/2π – where Planck’s constant [h = 6.6 x 10-34 J-s].
- Hence, the angular momentum (L) of the orbiting electron is: L = nh/2 π
Hence the 3rd statement is correct.
Statement iv.According to Bohr's theory
Angular momentum of electron in an orbit will be Integral multiple of (h/2π)
Magnitude of potential energy is twice of kinetic energy of electron in an orbit
∣P.E∣=2∣K.E∣
K.E=(13.6ev)( z2/n2)
Hence, The 4th statement is correct.

Most of the α-particle passed through the foil straight without suffering any change in their direction. This shows that most of the space inside the atom is empty or hollow.
A small fraction of α-particles was deflected through small angles and a few through larger angles. For this to happen α- particles (positively charged) must approach a heavy positively charged core inside the atom (like charges repel each other). This heavy positively charged core inside the atom was named as the nucleus.

Δthat's why massive alpha particles will pass through the foil with little deflection (due to protons)......
ΔBcoz here protons are like spreaded cloud and not in nucleus ( massive part or atom) ....
Δand alpha particle is more massive than single proton....so they will not deflect due to protons and will pass through foil....

The phosphor fluoresces to produce light. A fluorescent bulb produces less heat, so it is much more efficient. This makes fluorescent bulbs four to six times more efficient than incandescent bulbs. That's why you can buy a 15-watt fluorescent bulb that produces the same amount of light as a 60-watt incandescent bulb.

Shalini Basu answered |
**Explanation:**
The correct answer is **a) The alpha particles used in Rutherford's experiment are positively charged particles**.
Rutherford's experiment, also known as the gold foil experiment, was conducted in 1909 by Ernest Rutherford and his colleagues Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden. The experiment aimed to understand the structure of the atom and investigate the distribution of positive charge within it.
In this experiment, Rutherford and his team bombarded a thin gold foil with a beam of alpha particles. Alpha particles are positively charged particles that consist of two protons and two neutrons, which are the same as helium nuclei. They are emitted from a radioactive source, such as radium or polonium.
Rutherford observed that while most of the alpha particles passed straight through the gold foil, some of them were deflected at different angles, and a very small fraction bounced back in the direction opposite to the source. This unexpected result led to the discovery of the atomic nucleus and the concept of a mostly empty space within the atom.
Based on the observations from the experiment, Rutherford proposed a new atomic model known as the nuclear model. According to this model, atoms have a dense, positively charged nucleus at the center, which contains most of the atom's mass. The electrons, which are negatively charged particles, orbit around the nucleus in specific energy levels.
Therefore, the correct answer is a) The alpha particles used in Rutherford's experiment are positively charged particles.

Riya Banerjee answered |
Correct Answer :- b
Explanation : E = 15.0MeV
= 15 * 106 eV
= 15 * 106 * 1.6 * 10-19 J
= 15 * 1.6 * 10-13 J
E = (1/4πεo)*(ze2/r02)
r0 = (1/4πεo)*(ze2/E)
r0 = (9*109*79*(1.6*10-19)2)/(15*1.6*10-13)
= 75.84 * 10-16 m
= 7.58 fm

Shraddha Choudhury answered |
Explanation:
The Geiger-Marsden experiment was conducted to study the structure of an atom. In this experiment, a beam of alpha particles was directed towards a thin gold foil. The alpha particles were expected to pass through the gold foil with little or no deflection, as it was believed that the positive charge and the negative electrons in an atom are distributed uniformly, reducing the electric field inside the atom. However, the results of the experiment were surprising, as some of the alpha particles were deflected at large angles, and some even bounced back.
Reasons for very small deflection of the beam:
- Electrical forces: According to Coulomb's law, any two charged particles exert a force on each other. In an atom, the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electrons are attracted to each other by electrical forces. However, the electrons are in constant motion, creating a cloud of negative charge around the nucleus. This cloud of negative charge reduces the electric field inside the atom, making it difficult for the alpha particles to be deflected.
- Distribution of charge: The positive charge in an atom is concentrated in the nucleus, while the negative charge is distributed throughout the atom. This distribution of charge makes the electric field inside the atom more uniform, reducing the chances of the alpha particles being deflected.
- Collimation of particles: The alpha particles were collimated by lead screens before they were directed towards the gold foil. This was done to ensure that the particles were traveling in a straight line and were not scattered by other particles or objects in the environment.
- Most particles pass through: Despite the above factors, it was still expected that some of the alpha particles would be deflected at small angles due to the random nature of the collisions between the particles and the atoms in the gold foil. However, it was not expected that some of the particles would be deflected at large angles or bounce back, as this implied that the positive charge in an atom was not uniformly distributed.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the very small deflection of the beam was expected in the Geiger-Marsden experiment due to the distribution of charge in an atom and the reduction of electric field inside the atom. However, the unexpected results of the experiment led to the discovery of the nucleus and the development of the modern atomic model.

Nikita Singh answered |
Fluorescence is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. It is a form of luminescence. In most cases, the emitted light has a longer wavelength, and therefore lower energy, than the absorbed radiation. The most striking example of fluorescence occurs when the absorbed radiation is in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum, and thus invisible to the human eye, while the emitted light is in the visible region, which gives the fluorescent substance a distinct color that can be seen only when exposed to UV light. Fluorescent materials cease to glow nearly immediately when the radiation source stops, unlike phosphorescent materials, which continue to emit light for some time after.

Krishna Iyer answered |
Bohr never assumed stable electron orbits with the electronic angular momentum quantized as l=mvr=(nh/2π) Quantization of angular momentum means that the radius of the orbit and the energy will be quantized as well. Bohr assumed that the discrete lines seen in the spectrum of the hydrogen atom were due to transitions of an electron from one allowed orbit/energy to another.

A hydrogen atom has magnetic properties because the motion of the electron acts as a current loop. The energy levels of a hydrogen atom associated with orbital angular momentum are split by an external magnetic field because the orbital angular magnetic moment interacts with the field.

Explanation:
The given question is related to the concept of atomic spectra. Atomic spectra is a characteristic property of every element which is used to identify the element. It is produced when an atom absorbs or emits energy as electromagnetic radiation.
The correct option is A, i.e., each element is associated with a characteristic spectrum of radiation. This means that every element emits or absorbs radiation of a unique wavelength that is specific to that particular element.
The characteristic spectrum of radiation is the set of wavelengths at which an element emits or absorbs radiation. There are three types of atomic spectra:
1. Continuous spectrum: A continuous spectrum is produced when a solid, liquid or dense gas is heated and the atoms in the material emit radiation at all wavelengths. This type of spectrum is not specific to any particular element.
2. Emission spectrum: An emission spectrum is produced when an element is heated or excited with energy, and the electrons in the atom jump to higher energy levels. When these electrons fall back to their original energy levels, they emit energy as radiation. The wavelengths of this radiation are specific to that particular element.
3. Absorption spectrum: An absorption spectrum is produced when an element absorbs certain wavelengths of radiation. When white light is passed through a sample of a specific element, certain wavelengths of light are absorbed by the atoms in the material, leaving dark lines in the spectrum. These dark lines are specific to that particular element.
In summary, the correct option is A because every element is associated with a characteristic spectrum of radiation, which is used to identify the element.

Lines in the spectrum were due to transitions in which an electron moved from a higher-energy orbit with a larger radius to a lower-energy orbit with smaller radius. The orbit closest to the nucleus represented the ground state of the atom and was most stable; orbits farther away were higher-energy excited states.

Therefore, when a hydrogen atom is raised

Avantika Dasgupta answered |
In classical electromagnetic theory, atoms and molecules are considered to contain electrical charges (i.e. electrons, ions) which are regarded as oscillating about positions of equilibrium, each with its appropriate natural frequency, v0 . When placed in a radiation field of frequency v , each oscillator in the atom or molecule is set into forced vibration with the same frequency as that of the radiation. The amplitude of the forced vibration is small, but as v approaches v0 , the amplitude of the forced vibration increases rapidly. To account for the absorption of energy from the radiation field, it is necessary to assume that the oscillator in the atom or molecule must overcome some frictional force proportional to its velocity during its forced motion. For small amplitudes of forced oscillation, the frictional force, and therefore the absorption of energy, is negligible. Near resonance , the amplitude of oscillation becomes large, with a correspondingly large absorption of energy to overcome the frictional force. Therefore, the radiation of frequencies near the natural frequency of the oscillator corresponds to an absorption band.

Bohr Model Hypothesis and Stable Electron Orbit
Bohr model hypothesis is a model of the atom proposed by Niels Bohr in 1913. It was one of the earliest attempts to explain the structure of atoms and their behavior. The model was based on the assumption that electrons orbit the nucleus in circular paths.
The correct statement about Bohr model hypothesis is:
- Electron in a stable orbit does not radiate electromagnetic waves.
Explanation:
- Electrons in atoms can exist only in certain discrete energy levels. According to Bohr's model, electrons in atoms move around the nucleus in stable orbits, each with a specific energy level.
- Electrons in stable orbits do not emit electromagnetic waves because they are in a stable state and have a fixed amount of energy.
- However, when an electron transitions from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, it emits a photon of light.
- This is because the energy lost by the electron is emitted as a photon of light. The energy of the photon is equal to the difference in energy between the two energy levels.
- Therefore, the Bohr model hypothesis proposed that the electron does not continuously lose energy as it moves in a circular orbit around the nucleus, but instead only loses energy when it transitions between energy levels.
Conclusion:
Bohr model hypothesis is an important model that helps explain the behavior of atoms. The model is based on the assumption that electrons move around the nucleus in stable orbits and only emit electromagnetic waves when they transition between energy levels. The correct statement about the model is that electrons in a stable orbit do not radiate electromagnetic waves.

When Rutherford saw the results of the experiment by Geiger and Marsden, he said:
“It was quite the most incredible event that has ever happened to me in my life. It was almost as incredible as if you fired a 15-inch shell at a piece of tissue paper and it came back and hit you.”
Rutherford used the results of this experiment to develop a new model for the atom. This model proposed a central nucleus with a positive charge. It was this positively charged nucleus that was responsible for the strong backward deflection of the positively charged alpha particles.
The model also proposed that negatively charged electrons surrounded this nucleus. However, as most of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil with no deflection at all, Rutherford realised that most of the atom was empty space. So, his model placed the electrons at some distance from the nucleus.
