Eight identical point charges of Q(Coulomb) each are located at the corners of a cube of side length a, with one charge at the origin, and with the three nearest charges at (a, 0, 0), (0, a, 0), and (0, 0, a).

In Figure 1, an insulating rod is bent into a semicircle of radius R. A charge -Q is uniformly distributed along its top half (for 0 < theta < pi/2) while a charge +Q is uniformly distributed along its bottom half (for -pi/2<theta< 0).

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)
