There is a certain probability that a single electron may simultaneously absorb two identical photons from a high-intensity laser. How would such an occurrence affect the threshold frequency and the equations of Section 38.1? Explain.
In principle, does a hot gas have more mass than the same gas when it is cold? Explain. In practice, would this be a measurable effect? Explain.
In the process of internal conversion, a nucleus decays from an excited state to a ground state by giving the excitation energy directly to an atomic electron rather than emitting a gamma-ray photon. Why can this process also produce ray photons?
The black dots at the top of Fig. represent a series of high-speed photographs of an insect flying in a straight line from left to right (in the positive x-direction). Which of the graphs in Fig. most plausibly depicts this insect’s motion?
In what ways do atoms in a diatomic molecule behave as though they were held together by a spring? In what ways is this a poor description of the interaction between the atoms?
