I What is the radius of a hydrogen atom whose electron is bound by0.378eV ?

Short Answer

Expert verified

r6=1.9nm

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We can start the solution with expression for energy in nth state for hydrogen atom

02

Calculation

En=-13.6(eV)n2

n2=-13.6(eV)En (Express n2)

localid="1650738237508" n=-13.6(eV)-0.378(et)((-)sign of Enbecause energy in any atom is negative)

n鈮�6

localid="1650739244089" rn=n2aB(radiusisnthstate

r6=1.9nm

Calculate all the wavelengths of visible light in the emission spectrum of the hydrogen atom.

17. What is the de Broglie wavelength of a neutron that has fallen 1.0min a vacuum chamber, starting from rest?

An electron confined in a one-dimensional box emits a 200 nm photon in a quantum jump from n=2 to n =1. What is the length of the box?

For what wavelength of light does a 100 mW laser deliver 2.50脳1017photons per second?

The muon is a subatomic particle with the same charge as an electron but with a mass that is 207times greater: me=207mePhysicists think of muons as "heavy electrons," However, the muon is not a stable particle; it decays with a half-life of 1.5渭sinto an electron plus two neutrinos. Muons from cosmic rays are sometimes "captured" by the nuclei of the atoms in a solid. A captured muon orbits this nucleus, like an electron, until it decays. Because the muon is often captured into an excited orbit ((n>1), its presence can be detected by observing the photons emitted in transitions such as 2鈫�1and 3鈫�1.

Consider a muon captured by a carbon nucleus (Z=6). Because of its long mass, the muon orbits well inside the electron cloud and is not affected by the electrons. Thus, the muon "sees" the full nuclear charge 2and acts like the electron in a hydrogen like ion.

a. What is the orbital radius and speed of a muon in the n=1ground state? Note that the mass of a muon differs from the mass of an electron.

b. What is the wavelength of the 2鈫�1muon transition?

c. Is the photon emitted in the 2鈫�1transition infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or xray?

d. How many orbits will the muon complete during 1.5渭s? Is this a sufficiently large number that the Bohr model "makes sense, " even though the muon is not stable?
