Chapter 5: Q51E (page 190)

Air is mostly N₂, diatomic nitrogen, with an effective spring constant of 2.3 x 10³N/m, and an effective oscillating mass of half the atomic mass. For roughly what temperatures should vibration contribute to its heat capacity?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Vibration will contribute to heat capacity at temperatures of the order of 2200 K.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Nitrogen has 14 protons in its nucleus. Atomic mass of Nitrogen is

$\begin{array}{rcl} m & = & 14 脳 1.67 脳 10^{- 27} kg \\ = & 23.38 脳 10^{- 27} kg \end{array}$

Spring constant is

$k = 2.3 脳 10^{3} N/m$

02

Difference in energy of quantum harmonic oscillator states and energy of a diatomic gas

Difference in energy of quantum states of a quantum harmonic oscillator is

$螖 E = 鈩� \sqrt{\frac{k}{m / 2}}$ ,,,,,(I)

Here $鈩�$ is the reduced Planck's constant of value

$鈩� = 1.05 脳 10^{- 34} J 路 s$

Energy of a diatomic gas is

$E = \frac{3}{2} k_{B} T$ .....(II)

Here $k_{B}$ is the Boltzmann constant of value

$k_{B} = 1.38 脳 10^{- 23} J / K$

03

Determining the temperature for which vibrational energy contributes to heat capacity

Equate equations (I) and (II) to get

$\begin{array}{rcl} \frac{3}{2} k_{B} T & = & 鈩� \sqrt{\frac{k}{m / 2}} \\ T & = & \frac{2 鈩�}{3 k_{B}} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m / 2}} \end{array}$

Substitute the values to get

$\begin{array}{rcl} T & = & \frac{2 脳 1.05 脳 10^{- 34} J 路 s}{3 脳 1.38 脳 10^{- 23} J/K} \sqrt{\frac{2 脳 2.3 脳 10^{3} N/m}{23.38 脳 10^{- 27} kg}} \\ = & 0.5 脳 10^{- 11} s/K 脳 \sqrt{0.2 脳 10^{30} 路 (1 N 脳 \frac{1 kg 路 {m/s}^{2}}{1 N}) 路 (\frac{1}{1 m}) 路 (\frac{1}{1 kg})} \\ = & 0.22 脳 10^{4} K \\ = & 2200 K \end{array}$

The required temperature is of the order 2200 K.

A 50 electron is trapped between electrostatic walls 200eV high. How far does its wave function extend beyond the walls?

To determine the classical expectation value of the position of a particle in a box is $\frac{L}{2}$ , the expectation value of the square of the position of a particle in a box isrole="math" localid="1658324625272" $\frac{L^{2}}{3}$ , and the uncertainty in the position of a particle in a box is $\frac{L}{\sqrt{12}}$ .

In a study of heat transfer, we find that for a solid rod, there is a relationship between the second derivative of the temperature with respect to position along the rod and the first with respect to time. (A linear temperature change with position would imply as much heat flowing into a region as out. so the temperature there would not change with time).

$\frac{{鈭�}^{2} T (x, 蟿)}{鈭� x^{2}} = 尾 \frac{鈭� T (x, 蟿)}{鈭� 蟿} 未虫$

(a) Separate variables this assume a solution that is a product of a function of xand a function of tplug it in then divide by it, obtain two ordinary differential equations.

(b) consider a fairly simple, if somewhat unrealistic case suppose the temperature is 0 atx=0and, and x=1 positive in between, write down the simplest function of xthat (1) fits these conditions and (2) obey the differential equation involving x.Does your choice determine the value, including sign of some constant ?

(c) Obtain the full $T (x, t)$ for this case.

A study of classical waves tells us that a standing wave can be expressed as a sum of two travelling waves. Quantum-Mechanical travelling waves, discussed in Chapter 4, is of the form $蠄 (x, t) = A e^{i (k x = 蝇 t)}$ . Show that the infinite well鈥檚 standing wave function can be expressed as a sum of two traveling waves.
