Dual Nature of Radiation question

2024 · 6 Apr · Shift 2 · Q88

JEE MainPhysicsDual Nature of RadiationNumerical+4 / −1
In Franck-Hertz experiment, the first dip in the current-voltage graph for hydrogen is observed at 10.2 V10.2 \mathrm{~V}10.2 V. The wavelength of light emitted by hydrogen atom when excited to the first excitation level is ‾\underline{\hspace{2cm}}​ nm. (Given hc =1245 eV nm,e=1.6×10−19C=1245 \mathrm{~eV} \mathrm{~nm}, \mathrm{e}=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}=1245 eV nm,e=1.6×10−19C).

Correct answer: 122

  1. Meaning of the first dip in Franck–Hertz experiment
    The first dip at 10.2 V10.2\,\text{V}10.2V means an electron must gain energy E=eV=10.2 eVE = eV = 10.2\,\text{eV}E=eV=10.2eV to excite the hydrogen atom from ground state to its first excited state.

  2. Energy of emitted photon
    When the atom returns from the first excited state to the ground state, it emits a photon of the same energy: Eγ=10.2 eVE_{\gamma} = 10.2\,\text{eV}Eγ​=10.2eV

  3. Use photon energy relation
    E=hcλE = \frac{hc}{\lambda}E=λhc​ Hence, λ=hcE\lambda = \frac{hc}{E}λ=Ehc​

  4. Substitute given values
    Given: hc=1245 eV nmhc = 1245\,\text{eV nm}hc=1245eV nm and E=10.2 eVE = 10.2\,\text{eV}E=10.2eV

    Therefore, λ=124510.2 nm\lambda = \frac{1245}{10.2}\,\text{nm}λ=10.21245​nm

  5. Calculate
    λ≈122.06 nm\lambda \approx 122.06\,\text{nm}λ≈122.06nm

  6. Final integer answer
    122\boxed{122}122​ nm
