9. Electrons pass through the parallel electrodes shown in FIGURE EX37.9 with a speed of m/s towards left. What magnetic field strength and direction will allow the electrons to pass through without being deflected? Assume that the magnetic field is confined to the region between the electrodes.

An oil droplet with excess electrons is observed between two parallel electrodes spaced apart. The droplet hangs motionless if the upper electrode is more positive than the lower electrode. The density of the oil is . What is the radius of the droplet?
Once Thomson showed that atoms consist of very light negative electrons and a much more massive positive charge, why didn鈥檛 physicists immediately consider a solar-system model of electrons orbiting a positive nucleus? Why would physicists in object to such a model?
What temperature, in 掳C, is a blackbody whose emission spectrum peaks at (a) and (b)?
Firecrackers A and B are 600 m apart. You are standing exactly halfway between them. Your lab partner is 300 m on the other side of firecracker A. You see two flashes of light, from the two explosions, at exactly the same instant of time. Define event 1 to be 鈥渇irecracker A explodes鈥 and event 2 to be 鈥渇irecracker B explodes.鈥 According to your lab partner, based on measurements he or she makes, does event 1 occur before, after, or at the same time as event 2? Explain.
