X rays with a wavelength of 71 pm are directed onto a gold foil and eject tightly bound electrons from the gold atoms. The ejected electrons then move in circular paths of radius r in a region of the uniform magnetic field B. For the fastest of the ejected electrons, the product Br is equal to localid="1664288408568" 1.8810-4Tm. Find (a) the maximum kinetic energy of those electrons and (b) the work done in removing them from the gold atoms.

Short Answer

Expert verified

1. The maximum kinetic energy is 3.1 keV.

2. The work done is 14 keV.

Step by step solution

01

 Identification of the given data:

The given data is listed below.

The product of B and r is Br=1.8810-4T.m

The wavelength of the X rays is=71pm

02

Significance of the kinetic energy of a particle:

The kinetic energy of a particle equals the amount of work required to accelerate the particle from rest to speed v. Therefore, kinetic energy on the particle is given by-

K=12mv2

The kinetic energy is a scalar, always positive or zero.

03

(a) To determine the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons:

The radius is given by

r=mevqB 鈥.. (1)

Here, meis the mass of the electron, q is the charge of the electron, v is the speed of an electron, and B is the magnetic field.

Now, the speed of an electron can be obtained from equation (1)

v=rBqme

Therefore, kinetic energy is given by-

Kmax=12mev2=12merBqme2=rB2q22me

Thus, the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons is 3.1 keV.

04

(b) To determine the work done in removing the electrons from gold atoms:

Write the equation for energy of photon as below

Ephoton=hc

Here,

The Plank鈥檚 constant is

h=6.62610-34m2.kg/s=6.62610-34m2.kg/s1.610-19J=4.14110-15eV.s

The speed of light is,

c=3108m/s=31017nm/s

Therefore, the value of hc is,

Hence, the work done in removing the electrons from gold atoms is 14 keV.

Question: You will find in Chapter 39 that electrons cannot move in definite orbits within atoms, like the planets in our solar system. To see why, let us try to 鈥渙bserve鈥 such an orbiting electron by using a light microscope to measure the electron鈥檚 presumed orbital position with a precision of, say, 10pm(a typical atom has a radius of about localid="1663132292844" 100pm). The wavelength of the light used in the microscope must then be about 10pm. (a) What would be the photon energy of this light? (b) How much energy would such a photon impart to an electron in a head-on collision? (c) What do these results tell you about the possibility of 鈥渧iewing鈥 an atomic electron at two or more points along its presumed orbital path? (Hint:The outer electrons of atomsare bound to the atom by energies of only a few electron-volts.)
