Chapter 1: Q43E (page 1)

Anna and Bob have identical spaceship 60m long. The diagram shows Bob鈥檚 observations of Anna鈥檚 ship, which passes at a speed of c/2. Clocks at the back of both ships read just as they pass. Bob is at the center of his ship and at t = 0 on his wrist watch peers at a second clock on Anna鈥檚 ship.

(a) What does this clock read?

(b) Later, the back of Anna鈥檚 ship passes Bob. At what time does this occur according to Bob?

(c) What will observers in Bob鈥檚 frame see on Anna鈥檚 two clocks at this time?

(d) Identify two events that show time dilation and two that show length contraction according to Anna.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The value of Anna鈥檚 clock read at timet'=-100ns .

(b) The value of Bob time occurs later, the back of Anna鈥檚 ship passes is t'=141ns.

(c) The value of position of two clocks according to Bob鈥檚 to get the readings on Anna鈥檚 frame is t'1鈮�100nsand role="math" localid="1659757948068" t'2=0.

(d) It confirms that the events have been time dilated and length contracted from Anna's perspective by using the correct time and length, together with the length contraction and time dilation formulae.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

Consider the Anna and Bob have identical spaceship 60m long.

Consider a speed of ships passes at c/2 .

Consider a time of ship reads at t = 0.

Question: The carbon monoxide molecule CO has an effective spring constant of 1860N/m and a bond length of 0.113nnm . Determine four wavelengths of light that CO might absorb in vibration-rotation transitions.

Estimate characteristic X-ray wavelengths: A hole has already been produced in the n=1 shell, and an n=2 electron is poised to jump in. Assume that the electron behaves as though in a "hydrogenlike" atom (see Section 7.8), with energy given byZef2(-13.6eV/n2) . Before the jump, it orbits Z protons, one remaining n=1electron. and (on average) half its seven fellow n=2 electrons, for a ZeffofZ-4.5 . After the jump, it orbits Z protons and half of its fellown=1 electron, for a ZeffofZ-0.5 . Obtain a formula for1/位 versus Z . Compare the predictions of this model with the experimental data given in Figure8.19 and Table .

A plank fixed to a sled at rest in frame S, is of length L0and makes an angle of 胃0with the x-axis. Later the sled zooms through frame S at a constant speed v parallel to the x-axis. Show that according to an observer who remains at rest in frame S, the length of the plank is now

L=L01-v2c2肠辞蝉胃0

And the angle it makes with the x-axis is

胃=tan-1(纬vtan胃0)

The 蠄2,1,0state 鈥�2p the state in which mI=0has most of its probability density along the z-axis, and so it is often referred to as a 2pzstate. To allow its probability density to stick out in other ways and thus facilitate various kinds of molecular bonding with other atoms, an atomic electron may assume a wave function that is an algebraic combination of multiple wave functions open to it. One such 鈥渉ybrid state鈥� is the sum 蠄2,1,0=蠄2,1,-1(Note: Because the Schrodinger equation is a linear differential equation, a sum of solutions with the same energy is a solution with that energy. Also, normalization constants may be ignored in the following questions.)

(a) Write this wave function and its probability density in terms of r, 胃, and 蠒, (Use the Euler formula to simplify your result.)

(b) In which of the following ways does this state differ from its parts (i.e., 蠄2,1,+1and 蠄2,1,-1) and from the 2pz state: Energy? Radial dependence of its probability density? Angular dependence of its probability density?

(c) This state is offer is often referred to as the 2pz. Why?

(d) How might we produce a 2pystate?
