A tritiun atom (*H) can undergo spontancous radioactive decay into helium-3 ion (He+) by cmission of a beta particle. The departure of The electron is so fast that to the orbital clectrou the process appears as mply an instantaneous change in the nuclear charge from Z = 1 to Z = 2. I'alculate the probability that the He ion will be left in its ground state.
A neutron with a kinetic energy of 6.0 eV collides with a stationary hydrogen atom in its ground state. Explain why the collision must be elastic—that is, why kinetic energy must be conserved. (Hint: Show that the hydrogen atom cannot be excited as a result of the collision.)
While studying the spectrumn of a gas doud in space, an astronomer magnifies a spectral line that results from a transition from a p state to an s state, She finds that the line at 575.050 nm has actually split into three lines, with adjacent lines 4.70 x 10- nm apart, indicating that the gas is in an external magnetic field. (Ignore effects due to electron spin.) What is the strength of the external magnetic field? O B=3.25 T OB-2.98 T O B=2.79 T O B=3.05 T OB=2.05 T
