Q#1 (a)(i)A thermal neutron has a speed v at temperature T= 300 K and kinetic energy m-: 3 KT Calculate its deBroglie wavelength. State whether a beam of these neutrons could be diffracted by a crystal, and why? (ii) Explain in detail two Heisenberg uncertainty principles. Apply Uncertainty principle to estimate the kinetic energy (in MeV) of a nucleon bound within a nucleus of radius 10 15 m. (b) A metal surface is illuminated by 8.5 x 10'* Hz light emits electrons whose maximum energy is 1.97 eV. The same surface is illuminated by 12 x 104H2 light emits electrons whose maximum energy is 0.53 eV. Find the Planck's constant and work function of the surface. idth nf one dimensional hox in which a proton has an energy of 400,000 eV in its first excited
(a) Show that the speed of an electron in the nth Bohr orbit of hydrogen is αc/n, where α is the fine structure constant, equal to e2/4πε0ħc. (b) What would be the speed in a hydrogen like atom with a nuclear charge of Ze?
(2) In this experiment, why couldn't we observe the series of spectral lines that arise from electrons falling to the ground state, nfinal = 1? This is the Lyman series, for which 22 (see eq. (16)) must be replaced by 12 in both the numerator and denominator of the equation: 2 =- 1 n2 n = R (n2-1)' 2,3,4,5, ..
