Question

Hydrogen atoms in a particular excited state 'n' , when all returned to ground state , 6 different photons are emitted.Which of the following is/are correct.

A
If highest energy of photon emitted from the above sample is incident on the metal plate function 8eV, KE of liberated photo-electrons may be equal to or less than 4.75 eV.
B
Total number of radial nodes in all the orbital of $$n^{th}$$ shell is 14
C
Out of 6 different photons only 2 photons have speed equal to that of visible light.
D
Total number of angular nodes in all the orbital $$(n-1)^{th}$$ shell is 13.
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Correct option is D. Total number of angular nodes in all the orbital $$(n-1)^{th}$$ shell is 13.
Number of photons emitted=6
So, $$\dfrac {n(n-1)}{2}=6; n=4$$
excited state is $$3^rd$$ or n=4

photon having highest energy will be $$4 \rightarrow 1$$
so, its energy will be=$$13.6 (\dfrac {1}{1^2}-{1}{4^2})=13.6 \times \dfrac {15}{16}=12.75$$
When it is incident on plate having work function 8eV then KE=12.75 -8=4.75
KE will be equal to this value or may be less if electrons is inner electron. so option (B) is correct.
option (A) is incorrect because all photon have equal velocity which is $$3\times 10^8$$ m/s
(C), (D) also incorrect because number of nodes in $$n^th$$ and $$(n-1)^{th}$$ shall are 6 (Radial node) & 3 (Angular node ) respectively.
