Q.10 Case I: Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 10.1to10.5
The photoelectric emission is possible only if the incident light is in the form of packets of
energy, each having a definite value, more than the work function of the metal. This shows
that light is not of wave nature but of particle nature. It is due to this reason that
photoelectric emission was accounted by quantum theory of light.

Case II: Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 10.I to 10.IV
BOHR’S MODEL According to the third postulates of Bohr's model, when an atom makes a
transition from the higher energy state with quantum number n i to the lower energy state
with quantum number nf (n f ‹ n i) , the difference of the energy is carried away by the
photon of frequency such that hνif =Eni -Enf Since both n i and nf are integers, this
immediately shows that in transitions between the different atomic levels, light is radiated
in various discrete frequencies. For hydrogen atom spectrum, the Balmer formula
corresponds to n f= 2 and n i =3, 4, 5 etc. This result of the Bohr's model suggested the
presence of other series spectra for hydrogen atom - those corresponding to the transitions
resulting from nf= 1 and n i=2, 3 etc ; and nf=3 and n i= 4 ,5 etc. and so on. Such series were
identified in the course of spectroscopic investigations and are known as Lyman, Balmer,
Paschen, Brackett and Pfund-series. The electronic transitions corresponding to this series
are shown in the figure. The various lines in the atomic spectra are produced when electrons
jump from higher energy state to a lower energy state and photons are emitted.
