A hydrogen atom can be considered as having a central point- like proton of positive charge eand an electron of negative charge -ethat is distributed about the proton according to the volume charge densityÒÏ=Aexp(-2r/a0). Hereis a constant,a0=0.53×10-10m, andris the distance from the center of the atom.

(a) Using the fact that the hydrogen is electrically neutral, find A. the

(b) Then find magnitude

(c) Then find direction of the atom’s electric field ata0.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The value of A is A=-eÏ€²¹03.

(b) The magnitude is q=5e0e2.

(c) The direction of the atom’s electric field is outward.

Step by step solution

01

Gauss law

According to this lawthe charge enclosed divided by the permittivity determines the total electric flux out of a closed surface. It is defined by,

∫E→.da→=qε0 (1)

Where, q is enclosed charge and ε0 is permittivity.

02

Identification of given data

Here we have, volume charge densityÒÏ=Aexp-2r/a0

The value of a00.53×10-10m.

The distance from the center of the atom is r .

03

Finding the value of A .

(a)

Suppose, the hydrogen is electrically neutral.

So, the volume integral over the charge density gives the total charge (say-e0)

Therefore, we get

∫prdv=-e0 (2)

Here we have,

V=43Ï€°ù3dV=4Ï€°ù2dr

Now, substitute all numerical values in equation (1) we get,

∫Ae-2r/a04Ï€°ù2dr=-e0A4π∫r2e-2r/a0dr=-e0

Now, let

2r/a0=u2dr/a0=dudr=a0du/2

By substituting the values in above equation we get,

A4π∫a0u/22e-ua0du/2=-e0AÏ€²¹032∫u2e-udu=-e0

Now, we know that

∫une-udu=n!

Therefore, ∫u2e-udu=2!

So, we get

AÏ€²¹033.2!=-e0A=-e0Ï€²¹03

Hence, the value of A is A=-e0Ï€²¹03.

04

finding the magnitude

(b)

Here we have enclosed charge by a Gaussian sphere of radiusr=a0including the proton charge+e0 at the center is given by,

q=e0A4π∫0a0r2e-2r/a0dr2r/a0=u2dr/a0=dudr=a0du/2

By substituting the values in above equation we get,

q=e0+A4π∫01a0u/22e-ua0du/2q=e0AÏ€²¹032∫01u2e-udu

Now, we know that

∫une-udu=n!

Therefore, ∫u2e-udu=2!

So, we get

q=e0+AÏ€²¹0321-5e2q=e0-e01-5e2q=5e0e2

From equation (1) we have,

∫E→.da→=qε0

Now, from step 3 and from q=5e0e2we obtained that

E4Ï€²¹02=5e0ε0e2E=5e0e-24πε0a02

Hence, the magnitude isE=5e0e-24πε0a02 .

05

Finding the direction of the atom’s electric field at a0 .

(c)

Now, here net charge enclose is given by q=5e0e2is positive.

Hence, the direction is outward.

Figure 39-29 a shows a thin tube in which a finite potential trap has been set up where V2=0V. An electron is shown travelling rightward toward the trap, in a region with a voltage of V1=-9.00V, where it has a kinetic energy of 2.00 eV. When the electron enters the trap region, it can become trapped if it gets rid of enough energy by emitting a photon. The energy levels of the electron within the trap are E1=1.0,E2=2.0, and E3=4.0eV, and the non quantized region begins at E4=-9.0eVas shown in the energylevel diagram of Fig. 39-29b. What is the smallest energy such a photon can have?
