Using the Bohr model, calculate the speed of the electron when it is in the first excited state, n = 2. The Bohr radius ₁ 5.29 x 10-11 m.
Assume the electron is non-relativistic.
An atom has three energy states: -15 eV, -12 eV and -6 eV. If a beam of photons with
photons of energy 8 eV is directed at these atoms, which of the following will
happen?
Some photons will be absorbed and electrons will transition from -15 eV state to
-6 eV state.
Some electrons will transition from -15 eV to -12 eV reducing the energy of
some photons.
Some electrons will transition from -12 eV to -6 eV reducing the energy of some
photons by one-third.
No photon absorption will take place and the number of electrons in each level
will stay unchanged.
