Ex 2. Find the wavelength emitted during the transition of electron in between two levels of Li 2+ ion whose sum
is 5 and difference is 3.
Sol. Let the transition occurs between the level n 1 and n 2 and n 2 > n 1
Given that n 1 + n 2 = 5
n2 – n1 = 3
n 1 = 1 and n 2 = 4

Ex 4. When certain metal was irradiated with light frequency 0.4 × 10 13 Hz the photo electrons emitted had
twice the kinetic energy as did photo electrons emitted when the same metal was irradiated with light frequency
1.0 × 10 13 Hz. Calculate threshold frequency ( 0 ) for the metal.

Ex 6. Two hydrogen atoms collide head on and end up with zero kinetic energy. Each atom then emits a photon
of wavelength 121.6 nm. Which transition leads to this wavelength ? How fast were the hydrogen atoms
travelling before collision ?
