JEE Advanced · Physics · 27. Atomic Physics

Paragraph:
In a mixture of \(\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{H}^{+}\)gas \(\left(\mathrm{He}^{+}\right.\)is singly ionised \(\mathrm{He}\) atom), \(\mathrm{H}\) atoms and \(\mathrm{He}^{+}\)ions are excited to their respective first excited states. Subsequently, \(\mathrm{H}\) atoms transfer their total excitation energy to \(\mathrm{He}^{+}\)ions (by collisions). Assume that the Bohr model of atom is exactly valid.
Question:
The ratio of the kinetic energy of the \(n=2\) electron for the \(\mathrm{H}\) atom to that of \(\mathrm{He}^{+}\) ion is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{4}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{2}\)
  3. C 1
  4. D 2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Kinetic energy \(K \propto Z^2\)
\(
\frac{K_H}{K_{\mathrm{He}^{+}}}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2=\frac{1}{4}
\)
\(\therefore\) correct option is (a).
