Imagine an atom formed by an electron and neutron bound together by gravitational forces (instead of electrostatic forces). Using the Bohr hypothesis, find the radius of orbit for the 19th energy level of this hypothetical atom, in m. NOTE: This number will be very large. WHY? Compare your answer to the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy, which is about 1021 meters across.

Using the given charge-to-mass ratios for electrons andprotons, and knowing the magnitudes of their charges areequal, what is the ratio of the proton’s mass to the electron’s?(Note that since the charge-to-mass ratios are given to onlythree-digit accuracy, your answer may differ from theaccepted ratio in the fourth digit.)
Express the complex number z1 = (√(3) + i)/2 in the form rei Φ. What about z2 = (1 + √(3i))/2? If these complex numbers are the probability amplitudes for photons to be detected, what is the probability in each case? (Hint: See attatched image for more on finding probability amplitudes)
This question is for modern physics and wave and particle: (a) To how small a region must an electron be confined for borderline relativistic speeds – say, 0.05c – to become reasonably likely? (Ans: 3.9×10^−12m ) (b) On the basis of this, would you expect relativistic effects to be prominent for hydrogen’s electron, which has an orbit radius near 10-10? For a lead atom “inner-shell” electron of orbit radius 10-12m?
A one-dimensional infinite potential well has a length of 2L. What are the energy eigenvalues? Calculate the ground state energy if ten protons are confined in the box. Assume that the protons don’t interact with each other. If the ten protons are replaced by ten neutral hydrogen atoms, what is the total ground state energy resulting from the confinement? Again, assume that the hydrogen atoms do not interact with each other. You can treat the mass of proton and hydrogen atom to be identical.
What is the Doppler-broadened linewidth of the electronic transition at 821 nm in atomic hydrogen at 300 K?
Could someone explain to me in detail why bringing a crystal substance to absolute zero isn't possible? I know it's not because of quantum mechanics and uncertainty like some people say, because particals at their lowest zero-point will have a temperature of exactly 0 K, even though they're still experiencing motion. From what I've gathered, the energy or time required to pull it off is infinite, but I can't find any equations or clear explanations as to why or how that is. And I also don't know if there's any other reasons beyond that. If you could give me a thourough a breakdown for how absolute zero is impossible as you possibly could, I'd greatly appreciate it. Take as much extra time as you need. As long as it's detailed and correct I'm happy. Though ideally I would before it come in before the end of the day.
normalise the ground state of the quantum harmonic oscillator that you found in by calculating the value of c, for an alpha particle with a mass of 6.645 * 10 ^-27 kg and frequency of3.17 * 10^-8 hz u(x) = Ce ^-(mwx^2/2h)
Muonium is a hydrogen-like atom inwhich the electron is replaced with a muon, a fundamental particlewith a charge of -e and a mass equal to 207me. (The muon is sometimes referred to loosely as a “heavy electron.”) (a) What is the Bohrradius of muonium? (b) Will the wavelengths in the Balmer seriesof muonium be greater than, less than, or the same as the wavelengths in the Balmer series of hydrogen? Explain. (c) Calculate thelongest wavelength of the Balmer series in muonium
Consider an electron in an infinite potential well size of a=0.1 nm. What is the ground energy of the electron? What is the energy required to put the electron at the third energy level?Calculate the wavelength of the photon that would provide this required energy? (Planck’s constant =6.6x10-34 J.s, electron mass = 9,11x10-31 kg)
If the current in the Helmholtz coils were 2.4 A, rather than 1 A, and the accelerating voltage were still 100 V, what would the radius of the electron's path be? Give your answer in cm, and enter only the number. Blackboard will accept an answer witin 20% of the value it expects.
An electron is bound in a square well of width 1.05 nm and depth U0=6E∞, where E∞ is the ground-state energy for an infinitely deep potential well.If the electron is initially in the ground level, E1=0.625E∞ , and absorbs a photon, what maximum wavelength can the photon have and still liberate the electron from the well?
