About The Bohr Model of the Hydrogen Atom

AI Thread Summary
To determine the energy required to remove the remaining electron from a singly ionized helium atom (He+), the relevant equations involve the energy levels, where energy is proportional to the atomic number (Z) and inversely proportional to the square of the principal quantum number (n). For hydrogen, the ground state energy is -13.6 eV, and for He+ with Z=2 and n=1, the energy can be calculated as E = -13.6 eV * (Z^2) = -54.4 eV. Thus, the energy required to remove the electron is 54.4 eV. The correct answer is (d) 54.4 eV. Understanding these relationships is crucial for solving similar problems in atomic physics.

Do you know the relation between E and Z & n.

E \propto Z
E \propto \frac{1}{{n}^{2}}

For the ground state(n=1) of hydrogen(Z=1), E = -13.6eV

Here Z=2 & n=1.

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
