Question

Transcribed Image Text:QUESTION 4
Early in the 20th century, a leading model of the structure of the atom was that of English physicist J. J. Thomson (the discoverer of the
electron). In Thomson's model, an atom consisted of a sphere of positively charged material in which were embedded negatively charged
electrons, like chocolate chips in a ball of cookie dough. Consider such an atom consisting of one electron with mass m and charge -e, which
may be regarded as a point charge, and a uniformly charged sphere of charge +e and radius R. By that time time, it was known that excited
atoms emit light waves of only certain frequencies. In his model, the frequency of emitted light is the same as the oscillation frequency of
the electron (s) problems in the atom. What radius (in millimeter) would a Thomson-model atom need for it to produce red light of frequency
4.57 x 1014
Hz? (Don't express your answer in scientific notation)

A net charge of -3 nC is divided between the conductors, with a total of -12 nC on the inner conductor and +9 nC on the outer one. The charges are, of course, free to move between the surfaces within each shell but cannot move from one shell to the other. The inner conductor has an inner radius of a=2 cm, outer radius of b=3 cm. The outer conductor has an inner radius of c=6 cm, an outer radius of d=8 cm. a (a) In equilibrium, all of the excess charge is found on the surfaces. Why is there no charge between a and b, nor between c and d? (b) Determine the net charge on each surface (ie how much charge is there at r = a, at r = b, at r = c and at r= = d).
