At 750 eV of kinetic energy, what is the electron's maximum speed?
Consider a head-on collision between two hydrogen atoms,both initially in their ground state and moving with the sameaspeed. Find the minimum speed necessary to leave both atoms intheir n = 4 state after the collision.
While an antiproton has the same mass as a proton, it has an electrical charge of -e. How far apart would a proton and an antiproton be in the ground state of this system? Is there any reason to believe that such a system would not be possible?
