A boy is carrying a fish in one hand and a bucket full of water in the other hand. He then places the fish in the bucket thinking that in accordance with Archimedes principle, he is now carrying less weight as the weight of the fish is reduced due to upthrust from water. Is he right?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, when he places the fish in water in the bucket, no doubt, the weight of the fish is reduced due to upthrust .
But the reaction force to B acts on the water in the downward direction which increases the weight of water by the same amount.
So, the total weight carried by him remains unchanged.

It is tempting to think that all possible transitions are permissible, and that an atomic spectrum arises from the transition of the electron from any initial orbital to any other orbital. However, this is not so, because a photon has an intrinsic spin angular momentum of sqrt2 (h)/(2pi) corresponding to S = 1 although it has no charge and no rest mass. On the other hand, an electron has got two types of angular momentum : Orbital angular momentum, L=sqrt(l(l+1))h/(2pi) and spin angular momentum, arising from orbital motion and spin motion of electron respectively. The change in angular momentum of the electron during any electronic transition must compensate for the angular momentum carries away by the photon. to satisfy this condition the difference between the azimuthal quantum numbers of the orbital within which transition takes place must differ by one. Thus, an electron in a d-orbital (1 = 2) cannot make a transition into an s = orbital (I = 0) because the photon cannot carry away enough angular momentum. An electron as is well known, possess four quantum numbers n, I, m and s. Out of these four I determines the magnitude of orbital angular momentum (mentioned above) while (2n m determines its z-components as m((h)/(2pi)) he permissible values of only integers right from -1 to + l. While those for I are also integers starting from 0 to (n − 1). The values of I denotes the sub shell. For I = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,..... the sub-shells are denoted by the symbols s, p, d, f, g, .... respectively The maximum orbital angular momentum of an electron with n= 5 is
