The ozone molecule O3 has a permanent dipole moment of 11.8×10-30Cm. Although the molecule is very slightly bent— which is why it has a dipole moment—it can be modeled as a uniform rod of length 2.5×10-10m with the dipole moment perpendicular to the axis of the rod. Suppose an ozone molecule is in a 5000N/C uniform electric field. In equilibrium, the dipole moment is aligned with the electric field. But if the molecule is rotated by a small angle and released, it will oscillate back and forth in simple harmonic motion. What is the frequency f of oscillation?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The frequency of oscillation is1.01×10-8Hz

Step by step solution

01

Given information and formula used

Given :

The ozone molecule has a dipole moment : 1.8×10-30Cm.

It can be modeled as a uniform rod of length : 2.5×10-10m

Ozone molecule is in an electric field : 5000N/C

In equilibrium, the dipole moment is aligned with the electric field.

Theory used :

The motion of the molecule data-custom-editor="chemistry" O3is periodic, recurring in a sinusoidal pattern with a constant amplitude A.

A basic harmonic oscillator's motion is defined by its period T=2Ï€/w, which is the time it takes for a single oscillation, or its frequency f=1/T.

The phase, which controls the starting point on the sine wave, also influences the position at a given time t. The size of the mass mand the force constant kdetermine the period and frequency, whereas the starting location and velocity dictate the amplitude and phase.

A dipole is torqued by the electric fieldτ=pEsinθ. The dipoles are aligned by the torque.

02

Calculating the frequency of oscillation 

Fe=Fc⇒14πε0×e2d2=mw2(d2)⇒w2=9×10-9×(1.8×10-30)²×2(9.11x10-31)(2×10-10)³⇒w=4.09712×10-9=6.40088x10-8rad/s

Period is :

T=2πw=2×3.146.40088x10-8=9.8115x107

Oscillation frequency :

f=1T=19.8115x107=1.01×10-8Hz

You've hung two very large sheets of plastic facing each other with distancedbetween them, as shown inFIGUREEX23.20. By rubbing them with wool and silk, you've managed to give one sheet a uniform surface charge density and the other a uniη1=-η0form surface charge density η2=+3η0. What are the electric field vectors at points1,2and3?

The electric field 5.0cmfrom a very long charged wire is ( 2000N/C, toward the wire). What is the charge (in nC) on a 1.0-cm-long segment of the wire?

The combustion of fossil fuels produces micron-sized particles of soot, one of the major components of air pollution. The terminal speeds of these particles are extremely small, so they remain suspended in air for very long periods of time. Furthermore, very small particles almost always acquire small amounts of charge from cosmic rays and various atmospheric effects, so their motion is influenced not only by gravity but also by the earth's weak electric field. Consider a small spherical particle of radius r, density ÒÏ, and charge q. A small sphere moving with speed v experiences a drag force Fdrag=6πηrv, where η is the viscosity of the air. (This differs from the drag force you learned in Chapter 6 because there we considered macroscopic rather than microscopic objects.)

a. A particle falling at its terminal speed vtermis in equilibrium with no net force. Write Newton's first law for this particle falling in the presence of a downward electric field of strength E, then solve to find an expression for vterm.

b. Soot is primarily carbon, and carbon in the form of graphite has a density of 2200kg/m3. In the absence of an electric field, what is the terminal speed in mm/s of a 1.0-μm-diameter graphite particle? The viscosity of air at 20°C is 1.8×10-5kg/ms.

c. The earth's electric field is typically (150 N/C , downward). In this field, what is the terminal speed in mm/s of a 1.0 μm-diameter graphite particle that has acquired 250 extra electrons?

b. An electron is very far from the area. What is the ratioFf/Fi of the electric force on the electron after the area is reduced to the force before the area was reduced?
