    A spectrum is observed, when light coming directly from a source is examined with a spectroscope. Therefore spectrum obtained from a sodium vapour lamp is emission spectrum.

    Correct Option: C

    R =
    R0 n2
    Z

    Radius in ground state
    =
    R0
    Z

    Radius in first excited state
    =
    R0 × 4
    Z

    (∴ n = 2)
    Hence, radius of first excited state is four times the radius in ground state.

    Correct Option: A

    R =
    R0 n2
    Z

    Radius in ground state
    =

    Z

    Radius in first excited state
    =

    (∴ n = 2)
    Hence, radius of first excited state is four times the radius in ground state.



  1. In the Bohr model of a hydrogen atom, the centripetal force is furnished by the coulomb attraction between the proton and the electron. If a0 is the radius of the ground state orbit, m is the mass, e is the charge on the electron and ε0 is the vacuum permittivity, the speed of the electron is

    E ∝ Z2 and Z for helium = 2
    ∴ (E)He = 4 × 13.6 = 54.4 eV

    Correct Option: D

    E ∝ Z2 and Z for helium = 2
    ∴ (E)He = 4 × 13.6 = 54.4 eV
