What is the wavelength, in nm, of a photon with energy (a) 0.30 eV, (b) 3.0 eV, and (c) 30 eV? For each, is this wavelength visible, ultraviolet, or infrared light?
An electron and a proton are each accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 100 V. Afterward, which particle has the larger de Broglie wavelength? Explain.
The muon is a subatomic particle with the same charge as an electron but with a mass that is times greater: Physicists think of muons as "heavy electrons," However, the muon is not a stable particle; it decays with a half-life of into an electron plus two neutrinos. Muons from cosmic rays are sometimes "captured" by the nuclei of the atoms in a solid. A captured muon orbits this nucleus, like an electron, until it decays. Because the muon is often captured into an excited orbit , its presence can be detected by observing the photons emitted in transitions such as and .
Consider a muon captured by a carbon nucleus . Because of its long mass, the muon orbits well inside the electron cloud and is not affected by the electrons. Thus, the muon "sees" the full nuclear charge and acts like the electron in a hydrogen like ion.
a. What is the orbital radius and speed of a muon in the ground state? Note that the mass of a muon differs from the mass of an electron.
b. What is the wavelength of the muon transition?
c. Is the photon emitted in the transition infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or ray?
d. How many orbits will the muon complete during s? Is this a sufficiently large number that the Bohr model "makes sense, " even though the muon is not stable?
The absorption spectrum of an atom consists of the wavelengths 200 nm, 300 nm, and 500 nm. (a) Draw the atom’s energy-level diagram. (b) What wavelengths are seen in the atom’s emission spectrum?
Imagine that the horizontal box of Figure 38.14 is instead oriented vertically. Also imagine the box to be on a neutron star where the gravitational field is so strong that the particle in the box slows significantly, nearly stopping, before it hits the top of the box. Make a qualitative sketch of the n = 3 de Broglie standing wave of a particle in this box.
