- Cosmic rays are high-energy charged particles produced by astronomical objects. Many of the cosmic rays that make their way to the Earth are trapped by the Earths magnetic field and never reach the surface. These trapped cosmic rays are found in the Van Allen beltsdonut-shaped zones over the Earths equator (Fig. 30.34). These cosmic rays are mostly protons with energies of about 30 MeV. The inset in the figure shows a cosmic ray proton as it is about to enter the Earths magnetic field. The cosmic rays velocity is initially perpendicular to the field. Three students discuss what happens to the incoming cosmic ray. Decide which student or students are correct. Figure 30.34 The Van Allen belts are donut-shaped zones of trapped cosmic rays above the Earths surface. Inset: What happens to this cosmic ray as it enters the Earths magnetic field? Shannon: The velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field, so the cosmic ray just passes through the field and hits the Earths atmosphere. Avi: What you are saying is that the magnetic field exerts no force on the cosmic ray. Actually, it exerts a huge force because the velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field. The force will be into the page. Cameron: Avi is right. The cosmic ray proton is going to feel a huge magnetic force. Because it is positively charged, it will be pushed upward along the magnetic field lines. Shannon: I never said the force was zero. There is a force, but the force is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines. In this case, thats to the lefttoward the Earth. Avi: The force is perpendicular to the magnetic field, but it also has to be perpendicular to the velocity. Because B and v are both in the plane of the page, the force must be perpendicular to the page.arrow_forwardUnreasonable Results (a) What is the binding energy of electrons to a material from which 4.00-eV electrons are ejected by 400-nm EM radiation? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are unreasonable or inconsistent?arrow_forwardA Thomson-type experiment with relativistic electrons. One of the earliest experiments to show that p = mv (rather than p = mv) was that of Neumann. [G. Neumann, Ann. Physik 45:529 (1914)]. The apparatus shown in Figure P4.5 is identical to Thomsons except that the source of high-speed electrons is a radioactive radium source and the magnetic field B is arranged to act on the electron over its entire trajectory from source to detector. The combined electric and magnetic fields act as a velocity selector, only passing electrons with speed v, where v = V/Bd (Equation 4.6), while in the region where there is only a magnetic field the electron moves in a circle of radius r, with r given by p = Bre. This latter region (E = 0, B = constant) acts as a momentum selector because electrons with larger momenta have paths with larger radii. (a) Show that the radius of the circle described by the electron is given by r = (l2 + y2)/2y. (b) Typical values for the Neumann experiment were d = 2.51 104 m, B = 0.0177 T, and l = 0.0247 m. For V = 1060 V, y, the most critical value, was measured to be 0.0024 0.0005 m. Show that these values disagree with the y value calculated from p = mv but agree with the y value calculated from p = mv within experimental error. (Hint: Find v from Equation 4.6, use mv = Bre or mv = Bre to find r, and use r to find y.) Figure P4.5 The Neumann apparatus.arrow_forward
