Numerical 1: De Broglie wavelength of an electron The de Broglie wavelength of an electron is given by the formula: λ=hp where h is the Planck’s constant and p is the momentum of the electron. The momentum of the electron can be calculated using the formula: p=mv where m is the mass of the electron and v is its velocity. In this case, the electron is accelerated through a potential difference of 100 V, so its kinetic energy is: K=eV where e is the charge of the electron and V is the potential difference. The kinetic energy of the electron can be used to calculate its momentum: p=2mK Substituting this into the formula for the de Broglie wavelength, we get: λ=h2meV Substituting the values of h, m, e, and V, we get: λ=6.626×1034(2×9.109×1031×1.602×1019×100)m λ=1.22nm

Numerical 2: Kinetic energy of neutrons The kinetic energy of a neutron can be calculated using the formula: K=p22m where p is the momentum of the neutron and m is its mass. The momentum of the neutron can be calculated using the formula: p=h/λ where h is the Planck’s constant and λ is the wavelength of the neutron beam. In this case, the neutron beam has a wavelength of 1.5 nm, so its momentum is: p=h/λ=6.626×10341.5×109=4.42×1025 Substituting this into the formula for the kinetic energy, we get: K=p22m=4.422×10502×1.6749×1027 K=6.16×1025 Converting to eV, we get: K=6.16×1025×6.24×1018 K=3.86×106eV

Numerical 3: De Broglie wavelength of a hydrogen atom The de Broglie wavelength of an object can be calculated using the formula: λ=hp where h is the Planck’s constant and p is the momentum of the object. The momentum of the hydrogen atom can be calculated using the formula: p=mv where m is the mass of the hydrogen atom and v is its velocity. In this case, the hydrogen atom has a mass of 1.6749×10^−27 kg and a velocity of 1 m/s, so its momentum is: p=1.6749×1027×1=1.6749×1027 Substituting this into the formula for the de Broglie wavelength, we get: λ=6.626×10341.6749×1027=3.95×107 Converting to Å, we get: λ=3.95×107×1010 λ=395Å

Numerical 4: Energy of the electron in the first excited state of hydrogen The energy of an electron in a hydrogen atom can be calculated using the formula: E=13.6eV(1n21m2) where n is the principal quantum number and m is the angular momentum quantum number. In this case, the electron is in the first excited state, so n = 2 and m = 1. Substituting these values into the formula, we get: E=13.6eV(122112) E=13.6(141) E=10.2eV

Numerical 5: Wavelength of light emitted when an electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from the second excited state to the first excited state When an electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from the second excited state (n = 3) to the first excited state (n = 2), the wavelength of the light emitted can be calculated using the formula: 1λ=R(1n121n22) where R is the Rydberg constant and n1 and n2 are the principal quantum numbers of the two states. In this case, n1 = 2 and n2 = 3, so the wavelength of the light emitted is: 1λ=1.097×107(122132) 1λ=1.097×107(536) λ=656nm
