Assume that there is no repulsive force between the electrons in an atom but the force between positive and negative charges given by Coulomb’s law as usual. Under such circumstances, calculate the ground state energy of a He-atom.

What is the minimum energy that must be given to a H atom in ground state so that it can emit an Hγ line in Balmer series. If the angular momentum of the system is conserved, what would be the angular momentum of such Hγ photon?

The first four spectral lines in the Lyman series of a H-atom are λ=1218 A, 1028 A, 974.3 A and 951.4 A. If instead of Hydrogen, we consider Deuterium, calculate the shift in the wavelength of these lines.

Deutrium was discovered in 1932 by Harold Urey by measuring the small change in wavelength for a particular transition in 1H and 2H. This is because, the wavelength of transition depend to a certain extent on the nuclear mass. If nuclear motion is taken into account then the electrons and nucleus revolve around their common centre of mass. Such a system is equivalent to a single particle with a reduced mass μ, revolving around the nucleus at a distance equal to the electron-nucleus separation. Here μ=meM/(me+M) where M is the nuclear mass and me is the electronic mass. Estimate the percentage difference in wavelength for the first line of Lyman series in  H1 and 2H(Mass of 1H nucleus is 1.6725 ×10-27 kg, Mass 2H nucleus is 3.3374×10-27 kg, Mass of electron =9.109×10-31kg.)

In the Auger process an atom makes a transition to a lower state without emitting a photon. The excess energy is transferred to an outer electron which may be ejected by the atom. (This is called an Auger electron). Assuming the nucleus to be massive, calculate the kinetic energy of an n=4 Auger electron emitted by Chromium by absorbing the energy from a n=2 to n=1 transition.
