If 13.6 eV energy is required to ionise the hydrogen atom, then energy required to remove an electron from n = 2 is
- A.
3.4 eV
- B.
0 eV
- C.
.4 eV
- D.
6.8 eV.
Correct Answer
A. 3.4 eVExplanation
The energy required to remove an electron from the n = 2 energy level in the hydrogen atom can be calculated using the formula E = 13.6/n^2, where E is the energy in eV and n is the principal quantum number. Plugging in n = 2, we get E = 13.6/2^2 = 13.6/4 = 3.4 eV. Therefore, the energy required to remove an electron from n = 2 is 3.4 eV.Rate this question:

In Bohr’s model of an atom which of the following is an integral multiple of h/2π?
- A.
Angular momentum
- B.
Potential energy
- C.
Radius of an atom
- D.
Kinetic energy
Correct Answer
A. Angular momentumExplanation
In Bohr's model of an atom, the angular momentum of an electron is quantized and can only take on certain specific values. These values are given by an integral multiple of h/2π, where h is Planck's constant. Therefore, the angular momentum is the only option among the given choices that can be an integral multiple of h/2π.Rate this question:

The K.E. of the electron in an orbit of radius r in hydrogen atom is proportional to
- A.
E^(2)/r
- B.
E^(4)/r
- C.
2e^(2)/r
- D.
E^(2)/2r
Correct Answer
A. E^(2)/rExplanation
The correct answer is e^(2)/r. The kinetic energy (K.E.) of an electron in an orbit of radius r in a hydrogen atom is proportional to e^(2)/r. This is because the kinetic energy of a particle is directly proportional to its charge (e) squared and inversely proportional to its distance (r) from the center of the orbit. Therefore, as the radius decreases, the kinetic energy increases.Rate this question:

The different types of energies associated with a molecule are __________
- A.
Electronic energy
- B.
Vibrational energy
- C.
Rotational energy
- D.
All of the mentioned
Correct Answer
D. All of the mentionedExplanation
All of the mentioned types of energies are associated with a molecule. Electronic energy refers to the energy associated with the movement of electrons within the molecule. Vibrational energy refers to the energy associated with the vibration of atoms within the molecule. Rotational energy refers to the energy associated with the rotation of the molecule as a whole. Therefore, all of these energies are present and contribute to the overall energy of a molecule.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Eel >> Evib >> Erot >> E trExplanation
The correct order of different types of energies is Eel (electrical energy) >> Evib (vibrational energy) >> Erot (rotational energy) >> E tr (translational energy). This order represents the hierarchy of energy types, with electrical energy being the highest in the hierarchy, followed by vibrational energy, rotational energy, and finally translational energy.Rate this question:

The transition zone for Raman spectra is __________
- A.
Between magnetic levels of unpaired electrons
- B.
Between magnetic levels of nuclei
- C.
Between electronic levels
- D.
Between vibrational and rotational levels
Correct Answer
D. Between vibrational and rotational levelsExplanation
The transition zone for Raman spectra is between vibrational and rotational levels. Raman spectroscopy is a technique that involves the interaction of light with molecules, causing a shift in energy levels. The energy levels of molecules can be categorized into electronic, vibrational, and rotational levels. In Raman spectroscopy, the transition zone refers to the energy range where transitions occur between the vibrational and rotational levels of the molecule. This transition zone is important in Raman spectroscopy as it provides information about the molecular structure and dynamics.Rate this question:

Solar cell works based on
- A.
Laser technology
- B.
Tyndall effect
- C.
Photo-conduction
- D.
Thermal emission
Correct Answer
C. Photo-conductionExplanation
Solar cells work based on the principle of photo-conduction. Photo-conduction refers to the process where the absorption of light by a material generates electric charges, leading to the flow of current. In solar cells, photons from sunlight are absorbed by a semiconductor material, such as silicon, creating electron-hole pairs. These charges then separate at the junction of different materials within the solar cell, creating a voltage difference and generating an electric current. Therefore, photo-conduction is the correct explanation for how solar cells convert sunlight into electricity.Rate this question:

Luminescence is because of
- A.
Photons emitted while excited electrons drops down
- B.
Knocking out of electrons by photons
- C.
Photons stimulated by photons
- D.
All
Correct Answer
A. Photons emitted while excited electrons drops downExplanation
When an electron is excited to a higher energy level, it can drop back down to its original energy level. During this process, it releases energy in the form of photons, which are particles of light. This phenomenon is known as luminescence. Therefore, the correct answer is "Photons emitted while excited electrons drops down."Rate this question:
