Essential formulas: = /Z ( = 0.529 A). = Z/n ( = c/137). = -13.6*/ eV. = nhbar (independent of Z). 1/lambda = R*(1/ - 1/), R = 1.097 x 10^7 . KE = -E, PE = 2E (virial theorem). Spectral lines from level n: n. First excitation energy = 10.2 eV. (X-ray) = 12400/V Angstrom.
JEE strategy: (1) For ratio problems, use proportionality relations (r proportional to /Z, E proportional to /) — don't substitute numbers until the final step. (2) For spectral line problems, first determine which series (identify ), then apply Rydberg formula. (3) Remember n for counting lines. (4) For hydrogen-like ion comparisons, find which transitions give matching energies using (1/ - 1/). (5) For excitation problems, distinguish photon absorption (exact energy match required) from electron collision (any energy above threshold). (6) The Bohr model gives correct energies only for one-electron systems. (7) Angular momentum quantization L = nhbar is often the fastest route in problems. Modern physics topics contribute approximately 4% of JEE weightage, typically 1-2 MCQs.
