For a particle confined to an infinite square well, is it correct to say that each state of definite energy is also a state of definite wavelength? Is it also a state of definite momentum? Explain. (Hint:Remember that momentum is a vector.)
BIO One problem in radiocarbon dating of biological samples, especially very old ones, is that they can easily be contaminated with modern biological material during the measurement process. What effect would such contamination have on the estimated age? Why is such contamination a more serious problem for samples of older material than for samples of younger material?
Since lead is a stable element, why doesn’t the decay series shown in Fig. 43.7 stop at lead, ?
Human skin is relatively insensitive to visible light, but ultraviolet radiation can cause severe burns. Does this have anything to do with photon energies? Explain.
