For a body orbiting the sun, such as a planet, comet, or asteroid, is there any restriction on the z-component of its orbital angular momentum such as there is with the z-component of the electron’s orbital angular momentum in hydrogen? 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?
Why are materials that are good thermal conductors also good electrical conductors? What kinds of problems does this pose for the design of appliances such as clothes irons and electric heaters? Are there materials that do not follow this general rule?
Figure 40.17 shows the scanning tunneling microscope image of 48 iron atoms placed on a copper surface, the pattern indicating the density of electrons on the copper surface. What can you infer about the potential-energy function inside the circle of iron atoms?
It is stated in Section 40.3 that a finite potential well always has at least one bound level, no matter how shallow the well. Does this mean that as ? Does this violate the Heisenberg uncertainty principle? Explain
