Question:
The electron of a hydrogen atom is in the n = 2 state. The electron makes a transition to the ground state.
(a) What is the energy of the photon according to the Bohr model?
(b) The linear momentum of the emitted photon is related to its energy by p = E/c. If we assume conservation of linear momentum, what is the recoil velocity of the atom?
(c) Find the recoil kinetic energy of the atom in electron volts. By what percentage must the energy of the photon calculated in part (a) be corrected to account for this recoil energy?
