1. To explain structure of atom the first use of quantum theory was made by
2. (a)Rutherford (b) Bohr (c) Plank (d) Einstein
3. How many electrons have 10.0 coulomb total charge?
4. Five waves pass a point in 4.0 seconds. What is the frequency of the wave?
5. One of the emission spectral lines for Be3+ has a wavelength of 253.4 nm for an
electronic transition that begins in the state with n = 5. What is the principal quantum
number of the lower energy state corresponding to this emission? (n=4)
6. Find out the smallest wavelength of absorption line for hydrogen gas containing atoms in
ground state.
7. Microwave radiation has a wavelength on the order of 1.0 cm. Calculate the frequency
and the energy of a single photon of this radiation. Calculate the energy of this radiation
in kJ/mol (ν = 3 x 1010 Hz Esingle photon = 1989 x 10-26 J Eradiation = 0.0112
kJ/mol)
8. A fluorescent tube rated at 100 Watt emits yellow light of wavelength 590 nm. How
many photons of yellow light does the lamp generate in 1.0 minute? (Number of
photons = 1.781 x 1022)
9. When the excited electron in a hydrogen atom falls from n = 5 to n = 2, a photon of blue
light is emitted. If an excited electron in He+ falls from n = 4, to which energy level must
it fall so that a similar blue light (as with the hydrogen) is emitted? Prove it.( 𝜆 = 4.6997
× 10−7 𝑚 (blue light))
10. Carbon absorbs light at a wavelength of 150.00 nm. The total amount of energy emitted
by a carbon sample is 1.987 × 105 J. Calculate the mass of the sample assuming each
atom emits one photon?
11. The wavelength of a green light from a traffic signal is centered at 522nm. What is the
frequency of this radiation in GHz? (ν = 5.74 x 105 GHz)

21. Light of higher wavelength will have

22. (a) Lower Energy (b) Lower frequency(c) Both A& B(d) None
23. Why does hydrogen's emission spectrum have more than one lines as hydrogen only has
one electron give comment?
24. The figure below represents part of the emission spectrum for a one-electron ion in the
gas phase. All the lines result from electronic transitions from excited states to the n = 6
state.
