Question 2.5. What is the relationship between
a. Energy and wavelength?
The energy of radiation is inversely proportional to its wavelength
E = hc/ λ
E = Energy of radiation
λ = wave length of any light radiation
h = Plank's constant
(b) Frequency and wavelength
Frequency is inversely related to wavelength
c = vλ
ν = c/λ
Where c = velocity of light
λ = wave length of any light radiation
ν = frequency of light radiation
Question 2.6: What species are formed by decay of neutron?
Answer. Generally neutrons are stable in most of nuclei. However, a free neutron has short half life and decays into a proton, an electron and an antineutrino.
Question 2.7: Hydrogen atom and He+ are mono electronic system, but the size of He+ is much smaller than H, why?
Answer
Size of He+ is much smaller than H, because nuclear charge of He+ is twice as greater as the nuclear charge of H atom. Although, both hydrogen and He+ ion have same valence shells with only one electron in each, but greater nuclear charge of He+ leads to greater shrinkage of its 1s orbital and hence, size of He+ is much smaller as compared to that of H atom.
Question 2.8: How the wave length of moving particles are related to momentum of electron?
Answer.
According to Einstein equation of energy
E = mc2 --------- i
According to Plank's equation of energy
E = hν ---------- ii
By comparing equations i and ii, we get
mc2 = hν
mc = hν/c
p = h/ c/ν
p = h / λ
p ∝ 1/λ
where p = momentum of particle
λ = wavelength of any light radiation
h = Plank's constant
