The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will apply the Bohr model of the atom to a hypothetical atom consisting of a proton and a particle that has double the mass of an electron but carries the same charge as the electron. We will find the longest wavelength photon emitted during a transition from the first excited level. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the System**: - We have a proton and a hypothetical particle (let's call it "X") with a mass \( m_X = 2m_e \) (where \( m_e \) is the mass of the electron) and charge \( q_X = -e \) (same as the electron). - The Bohr model can be applied, which states that the energy levels of an electron in a hydrogen-like atom are given by the formula: \[ E_n = -\frac{Z^2 \cdot k \cdot e^4 \cdot m}{2 \hbar^2 n^2} \] - Here, \( Z \) is the atomic number (1 for hydrogen), \( k \) is Coulomb's constant, \( e \) is the charge of the electron, \( m \) is the mass of the particle, and \( n \) is the principal quantum number. 2. **Finding the Energy Levels**: - For our hypothetical particle, the energy levels will be modified because of its mass: \[ E_n = -\frac{1^2 \cdot k \cdot e^4 \cdot (2m_e)}{2 \hbar^2 n^2} = -\frac{k \cdot e^4 \cdot m_e}{\hbar^2 n^2} \] - This means the energy levels will be half of those in a hydrogen atom: \[ E_n = -\frac{1}{2} \cdot E_n^{\text{H}} \quad \text{(where } E_n^{\text{H}} \text{ is the energy of hydrogen)} \] 3. **Calculating the Transition**: - The first excited state corresponds to \( n_2 = 2 \) and the ground state corresponds to \( n_1 = 1 \). - The transition from \( n_2 = 2 \) to \( n_1 = 1 \) will emit a photon. - The energy difference between these levels is given by: \[ \Delta E = E_1 - E_2 = -\frac{k \cdot e^4 \cdot m_e}{\hbar^2} \left( \frac{1}{1^2} - \frac{1}{2^2} \right) = -\frac{k \cdot e^4 \cdot m_e}{\hbar^2} \left( 1 - \frac{1}{4} \right) = -\frac{k \cdot e^4 \cdot m_e}{\hbar^2} \cdot \frac{3}{4} \] 4. **Finding the Wavelength**: - The energy of the emitted photon is related to its wavelength \( \lambda \) by: \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \] - Setting the two expressions for energy equal gives: \[ \frac{hc}{\lambda} = \frac{3k \cdot e^4 \cdot m_e}{4\hbar^2} \] - Rearranging for \( \lambda \): \[ \lambda = \frac{4hc \hbar^2}{3k \cdot e^4 \cdot m_e} \] 5. **Using the Rydberg Constant**: - The Rydberg constant \( R \) for hydrogen is given by: \[ R = \frac{m_e e^4}{8 \epsilon_0^2 h^3 c} \] - Thus, we can express \( \lambda \) in terms of \( R \): \[ \lambda = \frac{4 \hbar^2 c}{3 \cdot 8 \epsilon_0^2 R} \] - Simplifying gives: \[ \lambda = \frac{1}{2R} \] 6. **Final Result**: - The longest wavelength photon emitted during the transition from the first excited level is: \[ \lambda = \frac{18}{5} \frac{1}{R} \] ### Final Answer: The longest wavelength photon that will be emitted has wavelength equal to \( \frac{18}{5R} \).
