The classic Millikan oil drop experiment was the first to obtain an accurate measurement of the charge on an electron. In it, oil drops were suspended against gravity by a vertical electric field. microscope Assume the oil drop to be 2.50 um in radius and have a density of 897 kg/m3. (a) Find the weight of the drop. (b) If the drop has a single excess electron, find the magnitude of the electric field strength needed to balance its weight. N/C

A 10 monolayers thick layer of Ag is deposited on Mo. The intensity of electrons emitted by the Ag and Mo can be measured separately. The ratio IAg/IMoi =100 for the deposited film. The mean free path of the electrons is 0.6 nm and the thickness of one layer is 0.18 nm. After heating the sample, the Ag layer has agglomerated in islands that cover a fraction q of the surface. Between the islands the Mo is “visible”. The intensity ratio after agglomeration is IAg/IMof = 1. Calculate the sensitivity of the electron spectroscopy technique for Ag with respect to Mo. I.e. how many electrons are emitted from one layer of Ag atoms compared to one layer of Mo atoms. And use this to determine what fraction of the surface is covered by islands?

a formula was generated for the velocity of an electron that generates a stable waveform. To use that equation you need a constant k. This constant is 2.307×10-28 and the charges are entered as unitless as positive. (That is, if one charge be4ing entered into the formula is a proton, it is entered into the formula as +1.) The mass must be in kg and the distance must be in meters. If all these are entered correctly, the velocity comes out in meters per second. The radius of the orbit of an electron in the Bohr atom of hydrogen is 52.9 pm. What is the velocity of that electron?
