Answer:
A. 2.82 eV
B. 439nm
C. 59.5 angstroms
Explanation:
A. To calculate the energy of the photon emitted you use the following formula:
(1)
n1: final state = 5
n2: initial state = 2
Where the energy is electron volts. You replace the values of n1 and n2 in the equation (1):
B. The energy of the emitted photon is given by the following formula:
(2)
h: Planck's constant = 6.62*10^{-34} kgm^2/s
c: speed of light = 3*10^8 m/s
λ: wavelength of the photon
You first convert the energy from eV to J:
Next, you use the equation (2) and solve for λ:
C. The radius of the orbit is given by:
(3)
where ao is the Bohr's radius = 2.380 Angstroms
You use the equation (3) with n=5:
hence, the radius of the atom in its 5-th state is 59.5 anstrongs
Answer:
Thomson's atomic model was successful in explaining the overall neutrality of the atom. However, its propositions were not consistent with the results of later experiments. In 1906, J. J. Thomson was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for his theories and experiments on electricity conduction by gases.
Summary. J.J. Thomson's experiments with cathode ray tubes showed that all atoms contain tiny negatively charged subatomic particles or electrons. Thomson proposed the plum pudding model of the atom, which had negatively-charged electrons embedded within a positively-charged "soup."
