E₂- E₁_=hf
_{This is called line spectrum.And different elements emit line spectrum of different wavelengths,So they can be identifiedeasily.}

Question # 8

Define continuous spectrum.

Ans 1: The radiation emitted by continuous media such as ''Black Body" forms a continuous spectrum,In continuousspectrum wavelengths of radiations can not be observed in discrete lines.

Question # 9

Ans 1: X-rays are used
1. To visualize the interior of the material opaque to ordinary light.
2. In computerized axial tomography.
3. In photographic films.

Question # 10

Is energy conserved when an atom emits a photon of light?

Ans 1: Yes energy is conserved when an excited atom emits a photon of light.When atom is excited ,energy is supplied .The same energy is emitted in the form of photon when it return back to its ground state.

Question # 1

Differentiate between Line and Band spectrum.

Ans 1: Line spectrum: When electron jumps from higher orbit to lower orbit ,it emits energy,This emission of energy constitutes spectral line,This is called the line spectrum.
Ans 2: Band spectrum:is produced by molecules,They are the groups of lines which are closely spaced to another.

Question # 2

Define normal population and population inversion.

Ans 1: In normal population ,the lower energy state has a greater population than the higher energy state.
Population inversion occurs when no more electron are in a higher energy state than in lower energy state.

Question # 3

Write two postulate of Bohr's model of H-atom.

Ans 1:
- An electron ,bound to the nucleus in an atom,can moved around the nucleus in certain circular orbits without radiating,These orbits are called the discrete stationary orbits.
- Only those stationary orbits are allowed for which orbital angular momentum is equal to an integral multiple mvr=nh/2π.

Question # 4

Write down use of laser in industry.

Ans 1: It can be used for telecommunication in fibre optics.
It is used to read bar codes,
It is used to generate 3D image of objects by holography.

Question # 5

What do we mean when we say that the atom is excited?

Ans 1: When energy from some external source is provide to an atom in its normal state,then its electron will jump from lower energy state to higher energy state.And atom is said to be excited.

Question # 6

Distinguished between stimulated emission and spontaneous emission.

Ans 1: Stimulated emission: If a atom is excited for a longer lifetime of about 10^-3sec than an incident photon of energy equal to the difference of two energy levels induces the atom to decay by emitting a photon that travel in the direction of incident photon.This process is called stimulated or induced emission.
Ans 2: Spontaneous Emission: As excited is highly unstable with life time of
10^-8sec,so electron will de excite itself with emission of a photon in any arbitrarydirection is called spontaneous emission.

Question # 7

What is CAT scanner?

Ans 1: A vastly improved x-rays technique is computerized axial tomography: the corresponding instrument is called CAT scanner.In CAT scanning a number of different orientations.Computer is attached to construct picture,Density difference of the order of one percent can be detected,Tumors and other anomalies much too small to be seen with older techniques can be detected.

Ans 1: Laser is used
1. For welding detached retinas
2. To destroy cancerous and precancerous cells.

Ans 1: Yes an electron in the ground state of hydrogen atom can absorb a photon of energy 13.6 eV and greater than 13.6 eV.
ionization energy of hydrogen atom in ground state is 13.6 eV.So if hydrogen absorb a photon of energy greater than 13.6 eV than the surplus energy of photon appear as K.E of electron
