Give a brief account of quantum model of H-atom. [3] kee The potential energy function for the H-atom is U(r) r k e is Coulomb constant, r is radial distance of electron from proton [H-nucleus]. The time-independent schrodinger equation in 3-dimensional space is U E m x y z Since U has spherical symmetry, it is easier to solve the schrodinger equation in spherical polar coordinates (r, θ, φ): z where r x y z P θ is the angle between z-axis and r, θ r φ is the angle between the x-axis and the projection of onto the xy-plane. y r φ It is possible to separate the variables r, θ, φ as follows: x (r, θ, φ) = R(r) f(θ) g(φ) By solving the three separate ordinary differential equations for R(r), f(θ), g(φ), with conditions that the normalized and its first derivative are continuous and finite everywhere, one gets three different quantum numbers for each allowed state of the H-atom. The quantum numbers are integers and correspond to the three independent degrees of freedom. 3

5 MU - MIT I BTECH SECOND SEMESTER- END EXAMINATION MAY ENGINEERING PHYSICS SCHEME OF EVAUATION A. Explain the experiment on compton effect. [5] Here X- ray photons are scattered through 9 from a carbon target. The wavelength is measured with a rotating crystal spectrometer using Bragg s law. Intensity of the scattered X-rays are measured using the ionization chamber. Contrary to the classical predictions where X-rays are treated as waves, in Compton experiment, at a given angle, only one frequency for scattered radiation is seen. This is shown in the figure, scattered x-ray intensity versus wavelength for Compton scattering at =, 5, 9, and 35. Compton could explain the experimental result by taking a billiard ball type collisions between particles of light (X-ray photons) and electrons in the material. The graphs for three nonzero angles show two peaks, one at o and one at > o. The shifted peak at is caused by the scattering of X-rays from free electrons. Shift in wavelength was predicted by Compton to depend on scattering angle as ' o m h c ( cos) This is known as Compton shift equation, and the factor is m h c called the Compton wavelength. Prediction were in excellent agreement with the experimental results. 5

6 MU - MIT I BTECH SECOND SEMESTER- END EXAMINATION MAY ENGINEERING PHYSICS SCHEME OF EVAUATION B. Explain the origin of characteristic X-ray spectrum with a sketch of X-ray energy level diagram. [3] The peaks in the x-ray spectrum have wavelengths characteristic of the target element in the x-ray tube and hence they form the characteristic x-ray spectrum. When a high energy (K = e V, V = x-ray tube voltage) electron strikes a target atom and knocks out one of its electrons from the inner shells with energy E nf ( E nf K, n f = integer), the vacancy in the inner shell is filled up by an electron from the outer shell (energy = E ni, n i = integer). The characteristic x-ray photon emitted has the energy: hc hf E ni E nf A K x-ray results due to the transition of the electron from -shell to K-shell. A K x-ray results due to the transition of the electron from M-shell to K-shell. When the vacancy arises in the -shell, an -series (,, ) of x-rays results. Similarly, the origin of M-series of x-rays can be explained. C. Explain Rayleigh s criterion for resolving images due to a circular aperture. [] Raleigh s criterion for optical resolution: The images of two closely spaced sources is said to be just resolved if the angular separation of the two point sources is such that the central maximum of the diffraction pattern of one source falls on the first minimum of the diffraction pattern of the other. 6

7 MU - MIT I BTECH SECOND SEMESTER- END EXAMINATION MAY ENGINEERING PHYSICS SCHEME OF EVAUATION 3A. Explain briefly the energy band theory of solids. [5] for each main point with a max of 5 marks There are two different wave functions (r) and (r) S S (for an atom with single s-electron outside of a closed shell) for which the probability density is the same. The wave functions of two atoms combine to form a composite wave function for the two-atom system when the atoms are close together. In Figure (a), two atoms with wave functions (r) combine. In S Figure (b), two atoms with wave functions (r) and (r) S S combine. These two possible combinations of wave functions represent two possible states of the two-atom system which have slightly different energies. Thus, each energy level of an atom splits into two close energy levels when the wave functions of the two atoms overlap. ENERGY BANDS OF SODIUM CRYSTA 3p 3s p E Figure (a) shows the splitting of s and s levels when two sodium atoms are brought together. Figure (b) shows the splitting of s and s levels into five levels each when five sodium atoms are brought together. Figure (c) shows formation of energy bands (bunches of closely spaced energy levels) when a large number of sodium atoms are assembled to form a solid. Thus, in a crystalline solid there are a large number of allowed energy bands that arise from the various atomic energy levels. Forbidden energy gaps occur between the allowed bands. Some bands may be wide enough in energy so that there is an overlap between the adjacent bands. The s, s, and p bands of solid sodium are filled completely with electrons. Since there are (+) energy states in a subshell each energy band has (+)N energy states, where N = number of atoms in the crystal. The 3s band (N states) of solid sodium has only N electrons and is partially full; The 3p band and the bands above this are completely empty. s s 7
