JEE AdvancedPhysicsAtoms and NucleiMCQ+3 / −1
In a mixture of H - He gas (He is singly ionized He atom), H atoms and He ions are excited to their respective first excited states. Subsequently, H atoms transfer their total excitation energy to He ions (by collisions). Assume that the Bohr model of atom is exactly valid.The ratio of the kinetic energy of the electron for the H atom to that of He ion is

Correct answer: A
- Kinetic energy in Bohr model
For a hydrogen-like atom, the total energy of the electron in the orbit is where is the atomic number.
In the Bohr model, so the kinetic energy of the electron in orbit is directly proportional to .
- Find kinetic energy for H atom at
For hydrogen, . Thus,
- Find kinetic energy for He ion at
For He, it is a hydrogen-like ion with . Thus,
- Take the ratio
- Answer
Therefore, the required ratio is So, Option A is correct.
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: A
Our derived answer: A
They agree.
