Question 2 (1) Assume that the average energy of β-rays (electrons) emitted from the S-ray source is 0.8 MeV, and the average ionization energy of gas molecules (atoms) in the GM counter tube is about 30 eV. Find the number of gas molecules ionized when one electron enters the GM tube (1MeV = 10°eV). (2) Assuming that the electrons and cations thus generated are attracted to the electrode as they are, what is the total amount of negative charge generated by ionization in C (coulombs)? (3) If this ionization takes 10-4s, what is the current flowing through the anode?
A laser emits at 424 nm in a single pulse that lasts 0.500 ms. The power of the pulse is 2.80 MW. If we assume that the atoms contributing to the pulse underwent stimulated emission only once during the 0.500 ms,how many atoms contributed?
A laser with a power output of 2.00 mW at a wavelength of 400 nm is projected onto calcium metal.
(a) How many electrons per second are ejected?
(b) What power is carried away by the electrons, given that the binding energy is 2.71 eV?
(c) Calculate the current of ejected electrons.
(d) If the photoelectric material is electrically insulated and acts like a 2.00-pF capacitor, how long will current flow before the capacitor voltage stops it?
