    HARMONIZED CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT SESSION: DECEMBER 2020

    COURSE : ELECTRICAL MATERIAL SCIENCE Level : 100


    SPECIALTY: ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEM
    EXAMINER: YUFENYUY SEVERINE WIYSAHNYUY Duration: 1 hour
    SCHOOL: ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY Credit Value: 5
    AUTHORISED DOCUMENTS : YES  NO  INSTRUCTIONS : ANSWER ALL QUESTION

    1. Define the following words and expressions


     Atom
     Photon
     Photo electric effect
    2. Present the Bohr’s model of the atom
    3. An incomplete graph of the maximum kinetic energy (in eV) of photoelectrons emitted
    when incident light is incident on a particular metal is shown below. Assume the two points
    shown are accurate.
    3.1. Complete the graph, to show the maximum kinetic energy at all frequencies up to
    2x1015Hz
    3.2. What is the work function of the metal?
    3.3. What is the threshold frequency in this case?

    4. According to the Bohr’s orbit model, electrons may be present at any of the allowed orbits
    whose energy is defined by the expression: En = -2.179 x 10-18J (Z2/n2), where Z is the
    atomic number or nuclear charge, and n = 1, 2, 3, ..is called the quantum number. For
    hydrogen atom that has Z = 1, the energy of the first four orbits are given below:

    Quantum # Energy values
    n=1 -2.18 x 10-18 J (lowest energy level or “ground state”)
    n=2 -5.45 x 10-19 J (first excited state)
    n=3 -2.42 x 10-19 J (second excited state)
    n=4 -1.36 x 10-19 J (third excited state)
    (Speed of light, C = 3 x 108 m/s; h = 6.63 x 10-34 J.s.)
    4.1. Why are the energy values negative?
    4.2. An electron in hydrogen atom jumps from the first orbit (n = 1) to the 4th orbit (n =4).
    What is the energy change ( ) for the electron? Does the electron gain or lose
    energy? Explain. What are the frequency (f) and wavelength (𝝺) of light that would
    provide just enough energy for the electron to make this jump? In what spectral
    region is this light found, uv, visible, or infra-red region?
    4.3. The same electron then jumps from the 4th orbit to the second orbit (n = 2). What is
    the energy change ( ) for the electron in this jump? Does the electron gain or lose
    energy? Explain. What are the frequency and wavelength of light emitted from this
    energy change? In what spectral region is this light emitted, uv, visible, or infra-red
    region?
    4.4. A spectral line in the Balmer series for hydrogen is observed at 𝝺 = 380 nm. If this is
    the result of an electron transition from a higher energy level n to energy level n=2,
    what is the quantum number n for the higher energy level? * ( )
