(a) Electron diffraction experiments reveal that the distance between the centers of the carbon (C) and oxygen (O) atoms in a carbon monoxide molecule is about 1.100 x 10-10 m. Where is the center of mass of a CO molecule? (b) In an ammonia molecule (NH3), the atoms are arranged in a pyramid.* The three hydrogen atoms (H) form an equilateral triangle at the base of a pyramid. The distance between the centers of the hydrogen atoms is 1.628 x 10-10 m; thus, the center of the triangle is 9.399 x 10-11 m from each hydrogen atom. The nitrogen atom (N) sits at the apex of the pyramid. The distance between the center of the nitrogen atom and any hydrogen atom is 1.014 x 10-10 m. Where is the center of mass of the ammonia molecule?

1. What is the wavelength of a radio photon from an AM radio station that broadcasts at 1470 kilohertz? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. 2. What is the energy of a radio photon from the same station? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. For question 1 I am not sure how to solve it because the frequency is in kilohertz and I don't know how to convert it into something that I can use. For the speed of light in this question, would it be best to use 3 x 10^8 m/s or 3 x 10^5 km/s? For question 2 I have the formula to use, I'm just uncertain of how to use it.
1. What is the de Broglie wavelength for an electron with speed (a) v = 0.469c and (b) v =0.958c? (Hint: Use the correct relativistic expression for linear momentum if necessary.) 2. Through what potential difference must electrons be accelerated if they are to have (a) thesame wavelength as an x ray of wavelength 0.22 nm and (b) the same energy as the x ray in part (a)? 3. For crystal diffraction experiments, wavelengths on the order of 0.23 nm are often appropriate. Find the energy in electron volts for a particle with this wavelength if the particle is (a) a photon; (b) an electron; (c) an alpha particle (m = 6.64 × 10- 27 kg)

A 0.20-kg billiard ball bounces back and forth without losing its energy between the cushions of a 1.5 m long table. (a) If the ball is in its ground state, how many years does it need to get from one cushion to the other? You may compare this time interval to the age of the universe. (b) How much energy is required to make the ball go from its ground state to its first excited state? Compare it with the kinetic energy of the ball moving at 2.0 m/s.

Calculate the speed that a gas-phase nitrogen molecule, N2, would have if it had the same energy as an infrared photon (λ = 3.33 mm), a visible photon (λ = 630. nm), an ultraviolet photon (λ = 250. nm), and an X-ray photon (λ = 0.100 nm). b.
