Q.

Hydrogen atom is bombarded with electrons accelerated through a potential different of V, which causes excitation of hydrogen atoms. If the experiment is being formed at T = 0 K. The minimum potential difference needed to observe any Balmer series lines in the emission spectra will be α10V, where α=______

Detailed Solution

For minimum potential difference electron has to make transition from n = 3 to n = 2 state but first electron has to reach to n = 3 state from ground state. So, energy of bombarding electron should be equal to energy difference of n = 3 and n = 1 state.
 ΔE=13.6[1132]e=eV 13.6×89=V V=12.09V12.1V So,α=121
