The following questions are case-based questions. Each question has an internal choice and

follow.
29. During chemical bonding, when the atoms come closer to each other, the attraction takes
place between them, and the potential energy of the system keeps on decreasing till a particular
distance at which the potential energy is minimum. If the atoms come closer, repulsion starts,
and again, the potential energy of the system begins to increase.
At equilibrium distance, the atoms keep on vibrating about their mean position. The equilibrium
distance between the centres of the nuclei of the two bonded atoms is called its bond length. It is
expressed in terms of an angstrom (A0) or picometer (pm). It is determined experimentally by x-
ray diffraction or electron diffraction method, or spectroscopic method. The bond length in

https://www.evidyarthi.in/
chemical bonding is the sum of the ionic radii in an ionic compound. In a covalent compound, it
is the sum of its covalent radii. For a covalent molecule AB, the bond length is given by d
= ra + rb

30. The particle nature of light posed a dilemma for scientists. On the one hand, it could explain
the black body radiation and photoelectric effect satisfactorily but on the other hand, it was not
consistent with the known wave nature of light which could account for the phenomena of
interference and diffraction. The only way to resolve the dilemma was to accept the idea that
light possesses both particle and wave-like properties, i.e., light has dual behavior. Depending on
the experiment, we find that light behaves either as a wave or as a stream of particles. Whenever
radiation interacts with matter, it displays particle like properties in contrast to the wavelike
properties (interference and diffraction), which it exhibits when it propagates. This concept was
totally alien to the way the scientists thought about matter and radiation and it took them a long
time to become convinced of its validity.
Answer the following questions-

(i)As per the photoelectric effect which thoroughly propagated the particle nature of light, what
would happen if we increase the intensity of light falling on the metal surface?

(ii) Why is the wavelength of a large particle like tennis ball is not visible?

(iii) According to de Broglie, the matter should exhibit dual behaviour, that is, both particle and
wave like properties. However, a cricket ball of mass 100 g does not move like a wave when it is
thrown by a bowler at a speed of 100 km/h. Calculate the wavelength of the ball .
(iv)Explain why a cricket ball does not show wave nature?
