AIIMS 2018 Physics Bohr Model MCQ Question
The Bohr radii of a hydrogen like atom are r₁ and r₂. Find the wavelength of photon when electron jumps from r₂ to r₁.
ch r₁r₂ / Ke² (r₂ - r₁)
2ch r₁r₂ / 3Ke² (r₂ - r₁)
2ch r₁r₂ / Ke² (r₂ - r₁)
3ch r₁r₂ / 2Ke² (r₂ - r₁)
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
When an electron transitions from a higher energy level (radius ) to a lower energy level (radius ) in a hydrogen-like atom, the energy difference between these levels is given by the formula . The wavelength of the emitted photon can be calculated using the relation . Substituting the energy difference into this equation leads to the expression , which matches option C.
Options A, B, and D do not correctly account for the factors of energy and the relationship between the radii, leading to incorrect coefficients or terms in their expressions.
