7.
What are (a) the energy, (b) the momentum, and (c) the wavelength of the photon that is emitted when a hydrogen atom undergoes a transition from the state n = 4 to n = 2? [5]
8.
An oscillating block of mass 250 g takes 0.15 sec to move between the endpoints of the motion, which are 40 cm apart. Find (a) frequency and (b) amplitude of the motion, and (c) force constant of the spring. [5]
