An electron in chromium moves from the n = 2 state to the n = 1 state without emitting a photon. Instead, the excess energy is transferred to an outer electron (one in the n = 4 state), which is then ejected by the atom. In this Auger (pronounced “ohjay”) process, the ejected electron is referred to as an Auger electron. (a) Find the change in energy associated with the transition from n = 2 into the vacant n = 1 state using Bohr theory. Assume only one electron in the K shell is shielding part of the nuclear charge. (b) Find the energy needed to ionize an n = 4 electron, assuming 22 electrons shield the nucleus. (c) Find the kinetic energy of the ejected (Auger) electron. (All answers should be in electron volts.)
The Bohr model correctly predicts the main energy levels not only for atomic hydrogen but also for other "one-electron" atoms where all but one of the atomic electrons has been removed, such as in He+ (one electron removed) or Li++ (two electrons removed). The negative muon (μ−)behaves like a heavy electron, with the same charge as the electron but with a mass 207 times as large as the electron mass. As a moving μ− comes to rest in matter, it tends to knock electrons out of atoms and settle down onto a nucleus to form a "one-muon" atom. For a system consisting of a nucleus of iridium (Ir192 with 77 protons and 115 neutrons) and just one negative muon, predict the energy in eV of a photon emitted in a transition from the first excited state to the ground state. The high-energy photons emitted by transitions between energy levels in such "muonic atoms" are easily observed in experiments with muons.
