Copper has a density of8.9103kg/m3, and no photoelectrons are ejected from it if the wavelength of the incident light is greater than8.9103kg/m3(in the ultraviolet range). How deep is the well in which its conduction electrons--one per atom-are bound?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The total depth of copper's potential well isU0=11.6eV

Step by step solution

01

The total depth of a potential well and kinetic energy of photons ejected. 

The total depth of a potential wellU0for a material just the sum of its Fermi energyEFand its work function

U0=EF+

鈥.. (1)

The Fermi energyEFof a materialis given by:

EF=22m[3(2s+1)2VNV]2/3 鈥.. (2)

Also, kinetic energy of photons ejected while being struck by photons is-

KE=hc 鈥.. (3)

Where;

hPlanck's constant

cSpeed of light in vacuum

Work function of material

Wavelength of photon

 Step 2: Find the Fermi energyEF  of a material. 

Given Information:

The density of copper=8.9103kg/m3

The wavelength of photo=275nm

Calculation:

role="math" localid="1658391895008" EF=22m[3(2s+1)2VNV]23=22m[3(2s+1)2VDm]23

Substitute9.11031kg form,1.0551034J.s for h;12fors,8.9103

kg/m3for D, 1.0551025kgand form ,

EF=22m[3(2s+1)2Dm]23=2(1.0551034J.s)2(9.11031kg)[3(2[12]+1)2(8.9103kgm3)(1.0551025kg)]23=1.1261018J

03

Find the work function.

Then the work function needs to be found by the use of equation (3), with the condition that the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons will be 0 for the maximum possible wavelength usedmax$,then solved for :

KE=hc0=hcmax=hcmax

Substitute 2.75107mformax,6.631034J.s , and 3.0108m/sfor c,

=hcmax=(6.631034J.s)(3108ms)(2.75107m)=7.2331019J

04

Find the total depth of copper's potential well.

Now the Fermi energy (1.1261018J)and work function(7.2331019J7.233*1019J) can be combined in equation (1) to get the potential:

U0=EF+=(1.1261018J)+(7.2331019J)=1.851018J

That can be converted to :

U0=(1.851018J)(1eV1.61019J)=11.55eV

We claim that the famous exponential decrease of probability with energy is natural, the vastly most probable and disordered state given the constraints on total energy and number of particles. It should be a state of maximum entropy ! The proof involves mathematical techniques beyond the scope of the text, but finding support is good exercise and not difficult. Consider a system of11oscillators sharing a total energy of just5丑蝇0 . In the symbols of Section 9.3. N=11andM=5 .

  1. Using equation(9-9) , calculate the probabilities ofn , being0,1,2, and3 .
  2. How many particlesNn , would be expected in each level? Round each to the nearest integer. (Happily. the number is still 11. and the energy still5丑蝇0 .) What you have is a distribution of the energy that is as close to expectations is possible. given that numbers at each level in a real case are integers.
  3. Entropy is related to the number of microscopic ways the macro state can be obtained. and the number of ways of permuting particle labels withN0 ,N1,N2 , and N3fixed and totaling11 is11!(N0!N1!N2!N3!) . (See Appendix J for the proof.) Calculate the number of ways for your distribution.
  4. Calculate the number of ways if there were6 particles inn=0.5 inn=1 and none higher. Note that this also has the same total energy.
  5. Find at least one other distribution in which the 11 oscillators share the same energy, and calculate the number of ways.
  6. What do your finding suggests?

Show that equation (9- 16) follows from (9-15) and (9- 10).
