Questions



1

An electron with a mass of 9.11 x 10-31 kg has a velocity of 4.3 x 106 m/s in the innermost orbit of a hydrogen atom. What is the de Broglie wavelength of the electron?
2

Calculate the energy
(a) in eV and
(b) in joules of the third energy level (n = 3) of a hydrogen atom.
3

How much energy is needed to move an electron in a hydrogen atom from the ground state (n = 1) to n = 3? Give the answer
(a) in joules and
(b) in eV.
4

What frequency of light is emitted when an electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from n = 2 to the ground state (n = 1)?
5

How much energy is needed to completely remove an electron from n = 2 in a hydrogen atom?
6

If the charge-to-mass ratio of a proton is 9.58 x 107 coulomb/kilogram and the charge is 1.60 x 10-19 coulomb, what is the mass of the proton?
7

An electron wave making a standing wave in a hydrogen atom has a wavelength of 8.33 x 10-11 m. If the mass of the electron is 9.11 x 10-31 kg, what is the velocity of the electron according to the de Broglie equation?
8
