Question # 4

Briefly describe continuous x-rays.

Ans 1: Continuous X-rays is due to an effect known as Bremsstrahlung effect when fast moving electron bombarded at the target,they are suddenly slowed down on impact with the target,And due to deceleration their kinetic energy is converted into X-rays photons.

Question # 5

Bohr's theory of hydrogen atom is based upon several assumptions.Do any of these assumptions contradict classical physics?

Ans 1: Bohr's first assumptions contradicts classical physics.Bohr said that electron do not radiate energy during revolving while according to classical physics,electron radiate energy during revolving and fall into the nucleus which is impossible.

Question # 6

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 # 7

What is fluorescence?

Ans 1: Fluorescence is a property of absorbing radiant energy of high frequency and re emitting energy of low frequency in the visible region of electromagnetic spectrum.

Question # 8

Ans 1: When an electron from L -shell jumps to occupy the hole in K- shell K_ax-rays is emitted .
And
When an electron from M -shells jumps to occupy the hole in K-Shell K_bX-rays is emited.

Question # 9

What is meant by lasing action?

Ans 1: When a large percentage of atom or sample is in population inversion then large number of coherent photons along same direction of motion could be obtained to form laster light,The combination of spontaneous emission of first and then stimulated emission cause the laser to generate coherent beam of light at a single frequency which is called lasing action.

Question # 10

Write two properties of x-rays.

Ans 1:
1. They cause ionization.
2. They have very short wavelength.

Question # 1

Can electron reside inside the nucleus?

Ans 1: No,electron cannot reside inside the nucleus .If electron resides inside nucleus then uncertainty in position.

Question # 2

What is meant by line spectrum? How line spectrum can be used for the identification of elements?

Ans 1: When an electron jumps from higher energy state to lower energy state than emits energy and make a spectral line.
E₂- E₁_=hf
_{This is called line spectrum.And different elements emit line spectrum of different wavelengths,So they can be identifiedeasily.}

Question # 3

what is Spectroscopy?

Ans 1: It is that branch of physics which deals with the production,measurement and interaction of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by atom is called Spectroscopy.

Question # 4

Explain why laser action could not occur without population inversion between atomic levels?

Ans 1: When a large percentage of atom or sample are in population inversion,then large number of coherent photons along same direction of motion could be obtained to form laser light,It is impossible withput population inversion.

Question # 5

Ans 1: The color of line spectrum of hydrogen atom are
- Red
- Blue
- Blue-Green
- Violet

Question # 6

How can spectrum of hydrogen contain so many lines,whereas hydrogen atom contain one electron?

Ans 1: The single electron in hydrogen atom occupies ground state but it can be excited to several states by absorbing energy.During de-excitation ,it can emit several lines of different wavelength.

Question # 7

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.
