Consider an electron in an infinite potential well size of a=0.1 nm. What is the ground energy of the electron? What is the energy required to put the electron at the third energy level?Calculate the wavelength of the photon that would provide this required energy? (Planck’s constant =6.6x10-34 J.s, electron mass = 9,11x10-31 kg)
Why can’t we overcome the uncertainty predicted by Heisen-berg’s principle by building more precise devices to reduce the error in measurements below the h/4π limit?
For the thermal radiation from an ideal blackbody radiator with a surface temperature of 2000 K, let Ic represent the intensity per unit wavelength according to the classical expression for the spectral radiancy and IP represent the corresponding intensity per unit wavelength according to the Planck expression.What is the ratio Ic/IP for a wavelength of (a) 400 nm (at the blue end of the visible spectrum) and (b) 200 mm (in the far infrared)? (c) Does the classical expression agree with the Planck expression in the shorter wavelength range or the longer wavelength range?
