Question 2 • MCQ 🔥 MHT CET (2026)
4 Mark(s)
What is the energy of an electron in a hydrogen atom in a stationary state corresponding to n = 2 ?
(A) $-5.45 \times 10^{-19}$ J
(B) $-2.40 \times 10^{-19}$ J
(C) $-4.35 \times 10^{-18}$ J
(D) $-6.70 \times 10^{-18}$ J
💡 View Step-by-Step Solution & Answer Key

Correct Answer: (a)

Explanation: For a hydrogen atom, the energy of an electron in the $n$th stationary state is $ E_n=\frac{-2.18\times10^{-18}}{n^2}\ \text{J} $ For $n=2$, $ E_2=\frac{-2.18\times10^{-18}}{2^2} =\frac{-2.18\times10^{-18}}{4} =-5.45\times10^{-19}\ \text{J} $ The negative sign shows that the electron is bound to the nucleus. $ \boxed{-5.45\times10^{-19}\ \text{J}} $ Hence, **Option A** is correct.

Question 3 • MCQ 🔥 TS EAMCET (2025)
4 Mark(s)
Work functions of four metals $M_1, M_2, M_3$ and $M_4$ are $4.8,4.3,4.75$ and 3.75 eV respectively. The metals which do not show photoelectric effect when light of wavelength 310 nm falls on the metals are
(A) $M_1, M_2$ only
(B) $M_1, M_3$ only
(C) $M_1, M_2, M_3$ only
(D) $M_1, M_2, M_4$ only
💡 View Step-by-Step Solution & Answer Key

Correct Answer: (c)

Explanation: Energy of photon $ E=\frac{1240}{\lambda(\mathrm{in} \mathrm{~nm})}=\frac{1240}{310}=4.0 \mathrm{eV} $ Given work functions $M_1=4.8 \mathrm{eV}$ $M_2=4.3 \mathrm{eV}$ $M_3=4.75 \mathrm{eV}$ $\mathrm{M}_4=3.75 \mathrm{eV}$ Only metals with $\phi \leq 4.0 \mathrm{eV}$ will emit electrons. $M_1, M_2$ and $M_3$ have work functions greater than 4.0 eV thus, do not show no photoelectric effect.

Question 4 • MCQ 🔥 VITEEE (2022)
4 Mark(s)
In which of the following photoelectric effect is observed?
(A) Mg
(B) Ba
(C) Ge
(D) Cs
💡 View Step-by-Step Solution & Answer Key

Correct Answer: (d)

Explanation: Only the group I elements of periodic table exhibit the photoelectric effect because they are highly electropositive metals and have low ionisation enthalpy. Hence, only Cs shows photoelectric effect among the given options.

Question 5 • MCQ 🔥 MHT CET (2023)
4 Mark(s)
Which of the following statements is NOT true about Bohr atomic model?
(A) An electron in hydrogen atom can move around the nucleus in one of the many possible orbits of fixed radius and energy.
(B) The energy of an electron in the orbit does not change with time.
(C) An electron can move only in those orbits for which angular momentum is integral multiple of $\frac{\mathrm{h}}{2 \pi}$.
(D) This model can explain the ability of atoms to form molecules by chemical bonds.
💡 View Step-by-Step Solution & Answer Key

Correct Answer: (d)

Explanation: Bohr atomic model could not explain the ability of atoms to form molecules by chemical bonds.
