If an electron in an atom has orbital angular momentum with values limited by 3, how many values of (a) Lorb,z and (b) morb,z can the electron have? In terms of h,m, and e, what is the greatest allowed magnitude for (c) Lorb,z and (d) morb,z? (e) What is the greatest allowed magnitude for the z component of the electron’s net angular momentum (orbital plus spin)? (f) How many values (signs included) are allowed for the z component of its net angular momentum?
An alkali metal atom is in the ground state. The orbital angular momentum equals zero and the spin angular momentum is entirely due to the single valence electron. A magnetic field is applied that splits the ground state energy level into two levels,  65 μeV apart.A photon, absorbed by the atom, induces a transition between the two levels. What is the wavelength of the photon? (c = 3.00 × 108 m/s, h = 6.626 × 10-34 J ∙ s, Bohr magneton = μB = 9.27 × 10-24 J/T, 1 eV = 1.60 × 10-19 J) Group of answer choices 19 mm 41 mm 38 mm 25 mm 31 mm
3. Consider a monatomic linear with equilibrium separation a. Suppose the outer electrons (of mass m) in a given atom move with a displacement different from that of the corresponding ion core (of mass M). Let the displacement of the ion core s be: Us = uei(Ksa-wt) and the displacement of the center of mass of the outer electrons associated with ion s be: V = vei(Ksa-wt) Each ion core is assumed to interact only with its own outer electrons with a force proportional to the displacement of the electron distribution from the nucleus, and the force constant is C₂. However, neighboring electron distributions interact with a force constant C₁. a) Show that -w² Mus = C₂ (vs - Us) -w²mvs = C₂ (us - Vs) + C₁ (Vs+1 + Vs-1-2vs) b) Substitute for the displacements, and solve the resulting simultaneous equations. Find an expression for w². c) Take the limit as m → 0 (the mass of electrons is much smaller than that of the ion core), and show that the dispersion relation for the acoustic mode is…
