- Integrated Concepts A certain heat lamp emits 200 W of mostly IR radiation averaging 1500 nm in wavelength. (a) What is the average photon energy in joules? (b) How many of these photons are required to increase the temperature of a person's shoulder by 2.0°C, assuming the affected mass is 4.0 kg with a specific heat of 0.83kcal/kgC. Also assume no other significant heat transfer. (c) How long does this take?arrow_forwardIntegrated Concepts What double-slit separation would produce a first-order maximum at 3.00° for 25.0-keV x rays? The small answer indicates that the wave character of x rays is best determined by having them interact with very small objects such as atoms and molecules.arrow_forward(a) How far away must you be from a 650-kHz radio station with power 50.0 kW for there to be only one photon per second per square meter? Assume no reflections or absorption, as if you were in deep outer space. (b) Discuss the implications for detecting intelligent life in other solar systems by detecting their radio broadcasts.arrow_forward
- Which aspects of the photoelectric effect cannot be explained without photons? Which can be explained without photons? Are the latter inconsistent with the existence of photons?arrow_forwardDerive the approximate form of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle for energy and time, Eth, using the following arguments: Since the position of a particle is uncertain by x, where is the wavelength of the photon used to examine it, there is an uncertainty in the time the photon takes to traverse x. Furthermore, the photon has an energy related to its wavelength, and it can transfer some or all of this energy to the object being examined. Thus the uncertainty in the energy of the object is also related to . Find t and E ; then multiply them to give the approximate uncertainty principle.arrow_forwardIs there any measurable difference between the momentum of a photon and the momentum of matter?arrow_forward
- Integrated Concepts An electron microscope passes 1.00-pm-wavelength electrons through a circular aperture 2.00 m in diameter. What is the angle between two just-resolvable point sources for this microscope?arrow_forwardHow can you tell that a hologram is a true three-dimensional image and that those in 3-D movies are not?arrow_forwardSuppose the velocity of an electron in an atom is known to an accuracy of 2.0103 m/s (reasonably accurate compared with orbital velocities). What is the electron's minimum uncertainty in position, and how does this compare with the approximate 0.1-nm size of the atom?arrow_forward
- What is the velocity of a 0.400-kg billiard ball if its wavelength is 7.50 cm (large enough for it to interfere with other billiard balls)?arrow_forwardIf electron is to be diffracted significantly by a crystal, its wavelength must be about equal to the spacing, d, of crystalline planes. Assuming d=0.250 nm, estimate the potential difference through which an electron must be accelerated from rest if it is to be diffracted by these planes.arrow_forwardWhich type of radiation is most suitable for the observation of diffraction patterns on crystalline solids; radio waves, visible light, or X-rays?
