Step by step solution

01

Definition of Concept

Energy: The ability to perform work in physics. It can take many different forms, including potential, kinetic, thermal, electrical, chemical, nuclear, and others.

02

Prove that the ground state energy \({{\rm{E}}_{\rm{o}}}\) is \({\rm{13}}{\rm{.6eV}}\) 

Considering the given information:

The ground state energy\({{\rm{E}}_{\rm{o}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{2}}{{\rm{\pi }}^{\rm{2}}}{{\rm{q}}_{\rm{e}}}^{\rm{4}}{{\rm{m}}_{\rm{e}}}{{\rm{k}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{{{\rm{h}}^{\rm{2}}}}}\).

Apply the formula:

The ground state energy is denoted as:

\({{\rm{E}}_{\rm{o}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{2}}{{\rm{\pi }}^{\rm{2}}}{{\rm{q}}_{\rm{e}}}^{\rm{4}}{{\rm{m}}_{\rm{e}}}{{\rm{k}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{{{\rm{h}}^{\rm{2}}}}}\)

Where\({{\rm{E}}_{\rm{o}}}{\rm{ = }}\)Ground state energy

h= Planck's Constant

\({{\rm{m}}_{\rm{e}}}{\rm{ = }}\)Mass of electron

k= Electrostatic Constant

\({{\rm{q}}_{\rm{e}}}{\rm{ = }}\)Charge of electron

We have

\(\begin{aligned}{}{\rm{h = 6}}{\rm{.626 \times 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{ - 34}}}}\;{\rm{\;J}}{\rm{.s}}\\{{\rm{m}}_{\rm{e}}}{\rm{ = 9}}{\rm{.11 \times 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{ - 31}}}}{\rm{\;kg}}\\{{\rm{q}}_{\rm{e}}}{\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.60 \times 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{ - 19}}}}{\rm{C}}\\{\rm{k = 9 \times 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{\rm{9}}}{\rm{\;N}}{\rm{.}}{{\rm{m}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{/}}{{\rm{C}}^{\rm{2}}}\end{aligned}\)

As a result, the energy of Ground Stats is calculated as,

\(\begin{aligned}{}{E_o} &= \frac{{2{\pi ^2}{{\left( {1.60 \times {{10}^{ - 19}}{\rm{C}}} \right)}^4}\left( {9.11 \times {{10}^{ - 31}}\;{\rm{kg}}} \right){{\left( {9 \times {{10}^9}N.{m^2}/{{\rm{C}}^2}} \right)}^2}}}{{{{\left( {6.626 \times {{10}^{ - 34}}\;{\rm{J}}.{\rm{s}}} \right)}^2}}}\\{E_o} &= 2.172 \times {10^{ - 18}}\;{\rm{J}} \times \frac{{{\rm{leV}}}}{{1.60 \times {{10}^{ - 19}}\;{\rm{J}}}}\\{E_o} \approx 13.6{\rm{eV}}\end{aligned}\)

Hence, it is proved that the ground state energy \({{\rm{E}}_{\rm{o}}}\) is \({\rm{13}}{\rm{.6eV}}\).

Lasers are used to burn and read CDs. Explain why a laser that emits blue light would be capable of burning and reading more information than one that emits infrared.

Repeat Exercise 30.40 for l = 3.

Ruby lasers have chromium atoms doped in an aluminum oxide crystal. The energy level diagram for chromium in a ruby is shown in Figure 30.64. What wavelength is emitted by a ruby laser?

Figure 30.64 Chromium atoms in an aluminum oxide crystal have these energy levels, one of which is metastable. This is the basis of a ruby laser. Visible light can pump the atom into an excited state above the metastable state to achieve a population inversion.

Particles called muons exist in cosmic rays and can be created in particle accelerators. Muons are very similar to electrons, having the same charge and spin, but they have a mass 207 times greater. When muons are captured by an atom, they orbit just like an electron but with a smaller radius, since the mass in\({{\bf{a}}_{\bf{B}}}{\bf{ = }}\frac{{{{\bf{h}}^{\bf{2}}}}}{{{\bf{4}}{{\bf{\pi }}^{\bf{2}}}{{\bf{m}}_{\bf{e}}}{\bf{kq}}_{\bf{e}}^{\bf{2}}}}{\bf{ = 0}}{\bf{.529 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{{\bf{ - 10}}}}{\bf{\;m is 207}}{{\bf{m}}_{\bf{e}}}\)

(a) Calculate the radius of then = 1 orbit for a muon in a uranium ion\(\left (Z = 92).

(b) Compare this with the7.5 - fmradius of a uranium nucleus. Note that since the muon orbits inside the electron, it falls into a hydrogen-like orbit. Since your answer is less than the radius of the nucleus, you can see that the photons emitted as the muon falls into its lowest orbit can give information about the nucleus.

A singly ionized helium ion has only one electron and is denoted He+. What is the ion’s radius in the ground state compared to the Bohr radius of hydrogen atom?
