An $\alpha$-particle (mass 4 amu) and a singly ….
An $\alpha$-particle (mass 4 amu) and a singly charged sulfur ion (mass 32 amu) are initially at rest. They are accelerated through a potential V and then allowed to pass into a region of uniform magnetic field which is normal to the velocities of the particles. Within this region, the $\alpha$-particle and the sulfur ion move in circular orbits of radii $r_{\alpha}$ and $r_S$, respectively. The ratio ($r_S/r_\alpha$) is _____.

The first three spectral lines of H-atom ….
The first three spectral lines of H-atom in the Balmer series are given by $\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\lambda_3$ respectively. Considering the Bohr atomic model, the ratio of wave lengths of first and third spectral lines $\frac {\lambda_1}{\lambda_3}$ is approximately given by $’x’ \times 10^{-1}$.
The value of x, to the nearest integer is———–. Continue reading The first three spectral lines of H-atom ….
