If one takes into account the finite mass of the proton,then the correction to the binding energy of the hydrogen atom is approximately (take,mass of proton $= 1.60 \times 10^{-27} \, kg$ and mass of electron $= 9.10 \times 10^{-31} \, kg$) (in $\%$)

In a hydrogen-like ion,the energy difference between the $2^{\text{nd}}$ excitation state and the ground state is $108.8 \ eV$. The atomic number of the ion is:

Using the formula for the radius of the $n^{th}$ orbit $r_n = \frac{n^2 h^2 \epsilon_0}{\pi m Z e^2}$,derive an expression for the total energy of an electron in the $n^{th}$ Bohr orbit.

View Solution

In the hydrogen atom, the electron makes a transition from the higher orbit $(i)$ to a lower orbit $(f)$. The ratio of the radius of the orbits is given by $r_i : r_f = 16 : 4$. The wavelength of the photon emitted due to this transition is . . . . . . nm. (Given Rydberg constant $R = 1.0973 \times 10^7 \text{ m}^{-1}$)
