JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 13. Nuclei

Experimentally it is found that \(12.8\,eV\) energy is required to separate a hydrogen atom into a proton and an electron. So the orbital radius of the electron in a hydrogen atom is \(\frac{9}{ x } \times 10^{-10}\,m\). The value of the \(x\) is \(\left(1\,eV =1.6 \times 10^{-19}\,J , \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}=9 \times 10^9\,Nm ^2 / C ^2\right.\) and electronic charge \(=1.6 \times 10^{-19}\,J\,C\) )

  1. A \(15\)
  2. B \(14\)
  3. C \(16\)
  4. D \(13\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(16\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Binding energy of system \(=\frac{k e^2}{2 r}\) joule and \(\frac{k e^2}{2 r}=12.8\,ev\) \(\frac{9 \times 10^9 \times\left(1.6 \times 10^{-19}\right)^2}{2 r}=12.8 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\) \(\Rightarrow r=\frac{9 \times 10^9 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{12.8 \times 2}\)…
