Modern Physics 1 Question 54

50. A particle of charge equal to that of an electron e, and mass 208 times of the mass of the electron (called a mu-meson) moves in a circular orbit around a nucleus of charge +3e. (Take the mass of the nucleus to be infinite). Assuming that the Bohr model of the atom is applicable to this system, (1988,6M)

(a) derive an expression for the radius of the nth  Bohr orbit.

(b) find the value of n for which the radius of the orbit is approximately the same as that of the first Bohr orbit for the hydrogen atom.

(c) find the wavelength of the radiation emitted when the mu-meson jumps from the third orbit to the first orbit.

Answer:

Correct Answer: 50. (a) 113.74\AA (b) 3

Solution:

  1. If we assume that mass of nucleus » mass of mu-meson, then nucleus will be assumed to be at rest, only mu-meson is revolving round it.

(a) In nth orbit the necessary centripetal force to the mu-meson will be provided by the electrostatic force between the nucleus and the mu-meson.

Hence,

mv2r=14πε0(Ze)(e)r2

Further, it is given that Bohr model is applicable to this system also. Hence

Angular momentum in nth  orbit =nh2π

or mvr=nh2π

We have two unknowns v and r (in nth  orbit). After solving these two equations, we get

r=n2h2ε0Zπme2

Substituting Z=3 and m=208me, we get

rn=n2h2ε0624πmee2

(b) The radius of the first Bohrs orbit for the hydrogen atom is h2ε0πmee2.

Equating this with the radius calculated in part (a), we get

n2624 or n25

(c) Kinetic energy of atom =mv22=Ze28πε0r

 and  potential energy =Ze24πε0r Total energy En=Ze28πε0r

Substituting value of r, calculated in part (a),

En=1872n2mee48ε02h2

But mee48ε02h2 is the ground state energy of hydrogen atom and hence is equal to 13.6eV.

En=1872n2(13.6)eV=25459.2n2eVE3E1=25459.21911=22630.4eV

The corresponding wavelength,

λ( in \AA)=1237522630.4=0.546\AA
