Chapter 9, Problem 9.7QAP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for an emission line of the hollow-cathode lamp for molybdenum to develop a cuplike crater at its maximum at higher current needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Spectral lines are lines which help in identifying the atoms and molecules. These are a result of absorption or emission of light in a comparatively narrower frequency range compared to the frequencies nearby.

Until the lamp current is less than 50 mA for a hollow cathode lamp for molybdenum, the emission spectrum is a sharp line at 313.3 nm.

1. Calculate the mean free time of an electron having a mobility of 1000cm2/V-s at300K; also calculate the mean free path (i.e., the distance traveled by an electronbetween collisions). Assume mn =0.26m0 in these calculations.(HINT: Use the relation between the mobility μ, the effective mass m, and themean-free-time τ, the electron's thermal velocity vth, and the mean-free-path l
