Get started for freeX-rays form ionizing radiation that is dangerous to living tissue and undetectable to the human eye. Suppose that a student researcher working in an X-ray diffraction laboratory is accidentally exposed to a fatal dose of radiation. Calculate the temperature increase of the researcher under the following conditions: the energy of X-ray photons is \(200 \mathrm{keV}\) and the researcher absorbs \(4 \times 10^{13}\) photons per each kilogram of body weight during the exposure. Assume that the specific heat of the student's body is \(0.83 \mathrm{kcal} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K}\).
A triply ionized atom of beryllium \(\mathrm{Be}^{3+}\) is a hydrogen-like ion. When \(\mathrm{Be}^{3+}\) is in one of its excited states, its radius in this \(n\) th state is exactly the same as the radius of the first Bohr orbit of hydrogen. Find \(n\) and compute the ionization energy for this state of \(\mathrm{Be}^{3+}\).
Does the Heisenberg uncertainty principle allow a particle to be at rest in a designated region in space?
If electron is to be diffracted significantly by a crystal, its wavelength must be about equal to the spacing, \(d,\) of crystalline planes. Assuming \(d=0.250 \mathrm{nm}\) estimate the potential difference through which an electron must be accelerated from rest if it is to be diffracted by these planes.
The radiant energy from the sun reaches its maximum at a wavelength of about 500.0 nm. What is the approximate temperature of the sun's surface?
