In problem P36 you can find the effective spring stiffness corresponding to the interatomic force for aluminum and lead. Let’s assume for the moment that, very roughly, other atoms have similar values,

(a) what is the (very) approximate frequency ffor the vibration of H2, a hydrogen molecule?

(b) What is the (very) approximate frequency ffor the vibration of O2, an oxygen molecule?

(c) What is the approximate vibration frequency fof the molecule D2, both of whose atoms are deuterium atoms (that is, each nucleus has one proton and one neutron)?

(d) Explain why the ratio of deuterium frequency to the hydrogen frequency is quite accurate, even though you have estimated each of these quantities very approximately, and the effective spring stiffness is normal expected to be significantly different for different atoms.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The approximate frequency of hydrogen molecule is1.3×1013 Hz .
  2. The approximate frequency of oxygen molecule is 3.2×1012 Hz.
  3. The approximate frequency of deuterium molecule is8.9×1012 Hz.
  4. As in the given cases spring stiffness remains constant, the atomic mass of the hydrogen and deuterium is not changing, so the ratio of the frequencies of these given molecule is quite accurate.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

  • Density of aluminum;

ÒÏ=2.7 g/cm3=2.7×10−3(10−2)3=2700 kg/m3

  • Young modulus for aluminum,Y=6.2×1010 N/m2
  • Mass of one mole aluminum,m=27 g
  • Density of lead;

ÒÏ=11.4 g/cm3=11.4×10−3(10−2)3=11400 kg/m3

  • Young modulus for aluminum,Y=1.6×1010 N/m2
  • Mass of one mole aluminum,

m=27 g=0.207 kg

02

Determining the concept

The expression for the young modulus is given by,

Y=ksd

Here ksis the stiffness of an interatomic bond in a solid, dis the length of an interatomic bond andY is the young modulus.

The expression for the angular frequency is given by,

Ó¬=km

HereÓ¬ is the angular frequency,k is the spring constant,m is the mass.

(a) Determine the accurate frequency for the vibration of H2, a hydrogen molecule

Assume that an aluminum is cube of side 1m. Then the number of atoms inside this cube is,

NAl=2700 kg/m31 mol0.027 kg6.02×1023 atoms1 mol=6.02×1028 atoms

Now, the number of atoms along one edge of the cube is,

nAl=6.02×10283 atoms=3.92×109 atoms

As the row is 1mlong, so the diameter of one atom is,

dAl=1 m3.92×109 atoms=2.55×10−10 m

The expression for the stiffness of an interatomic bond in aluminum is,

kAl=YAldAl

Substitute6.2×1010 N/m2for YAl and 2.55×10−10 mfor role="math" localid="1661248912662" dAlinto the above equation,

kAl=(Y=6.2×1010)(2.55×10−10)=15.8 N/m

Assume that an lead is cube of side 1 m. Then the number of atoms inside this cube is,

NPb=11400 kg/m31 mol0.27 kg6.02×1023 atoms1 mol=2.54×1028 atoms

Now, the number of atoms along one edge of the cube is,

nPb=2.54×10283 atoms=2.94×109 atoms

As the row is1mlong, so the diameter of one atom is,

dPb=1 m2.94×109 atoms=3.4×10−10 m

The expression for the stiffness of an interatomic bond in aluminum is,

kPb=YPbdPb

Substitute 6.2×1010 N/m2for YPb and 2.55×10−10 mfor dPbinto the above equation,

kPb=(Y=1.6×1010)(3.4×10−10)=5.44 N/m

The effective spring stiffness corresponding to the interatomic force for aluminum and lead is,

keff=kAl+kPb

Substitute 15.8 N/mfor kAland 5.44 N/mfor kPbinto the above equation,

keff=15.8+5.44=21.24 N/m

The expression for the angular frequency of H2molecule is given by,

Ó¬H2=kH2mH2

The corresponding oscillating frequency of H2molecule is given by,

fH2=12Ï€kH2mH2

Substitute21.24 N/m for kH2and2(1.67×10−27 kg) for mH2into the above equation,

fH2=12π21.242(1.67×10−27)=1.3×1013 Hz

Therefore, the approximate frequency of hydrogen molecule is 1.3×1013 Hz.

04

(b) Determine the accurate frequency for the vibration of O2, a oxygen molecule

The corresponding oscillating frequency of O2molecule is given by,

fO2=12Ï€kO2mO2

Substitute21.24 N/m for kO2and 32(1.67×10−27 kg)for mO2into the above equation,

fO2=12π21.2432(1.67×10−27)=3.2×1012 Hz

Therefore, the approximate frequency of oxygen molecule is 3.2×1012 Hz.

05

(c) Determine the accurate frequency for the vibration of D2, a deuterium molecule

The corresponding oscillating frequency of D2molecule is given by,

fD2=12Ï€kD2mD2

Substitute 21.24 N/m for kD2and 4(1.67×10−27 kg) formD2 into the above equation,

fO2=12π21.244(1.67×10−27)=8.97×1012 Hz

Therefore, the approximate frequency of deuterium molecule is 8.9×1012 Hz.

06

(d) Explanation for part (d)

From the expression

Ó¬=km

Angular frequency is directly proportional to the square root of the spring stiffness and inversely proportional to the square root of the mass of the molecule.

As in the above cases spring stiffness remains constant, the atomic mass of the hydrogen and deuterium is not changing, so the ratio of the frequencies of these given molecule is quite accurate.

Approximately what is the radius of a copper atom? Is it 1×10-15m, 1×10-12m, 1×10-10m, 1×10-8m, or 1×10-6m?

The period of a particular spring-mass oscillator is 1 when the amplitude is5cm . (a) what would be the period if we doubled the mass? (b) What would be the period if we replaced the original spring with a spring that is twice as stiff (keeping the original mass)? (c) What would be the period if we cut the original spring in half and use just one of the pieces (keeping the original mass)? (d) What would be the period if we increased the amplitude of the original system to10cm , so that the total distance traveled in one period is twice as large? (e) What would be the period if we took the original system to a massive planet whereg=25N/kg ?

It is sometimes claimed that friction forces always slow an object down, but this is not true. If you place a box of mass 8kgon a moving horizontal conveyor belt, the friction force of the belt acting on the bottom of the box speeds up the box. At first there is some slipping, until the speed of the belt, which is 5m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between box and belt is 0.6. (a) How much time does it take for the box to reach this final speed? (b) What is the distance (relative to the floor) that the box moves before reaching the final speed of5m/s?

An object of mass m is attached by two stretched springs (stiffnessKs and relaxed lengthL0 ) to rigid walls, as shown in figure 4.60. The springs are initially stretched by an amount (L-L0). When the object is displaced to the right and released, it oscillates horizontally. Starting from the momentum principle, find a function of the displacement xof the object and the timet describes the oscillatory motion.

(a) What is the period of the motion?

(b) If L0 were shorter (so the springs are initially stretched more), would the period be larger, smaller, or the same?

A certain spring has stiffness140N/m. The spring is then cut into two equal lengths. What is the stiffness of one of these half-length springs?
