The nucleus of an atom of ._(92)Y^(235) initially at rest decays by emitting an alpha particle. The binding energy per nucleon of parent and dougther nuclei are 7.8MeV and 7.835MeV respectively and that of alpha particles is 7.07MeV//"nucleon". Assuming the dougther nucleus to be formed in the unexcited state and neglecting its share of energy in the reaction, calculate speed of emitted alpha particle. Take mass of alpha particle to be 6.68xx10^(-27)kg .

Bohr's model of hydrogen atom In order to explain the stability of atom and its line spectra, Bohr gave a set of postulates: An electron in an atom revolves in certain circular orbit around the nucleus. These are the orbits for which mvr=(nh)/(2pi) In these allowed orbits, the electron does not radiate energy. When an electron jumps from higher energy level E_(n_2) to lower energy orbit E_(n_1) , radiation is emittd and frequency of emitted electron is given by v=(E_(n_2)-E_(n_1))/h . Further the radius of the n^(th) orbit of hydrogen atom is r=(n^2h^24piepsilon_0)/(4pi^2me^2) and energy of the n^(th) orbit is given by E_n=-13.6/n^2 eV . What would happen, if the electron in an atom is stationary?
