Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 117FP
Diffraction of radiation takes place when the distance between the scattering centers is comparable to the wavelength of the radiation.
a. What velocity must helium atoms possess to be diffracted by a film of silver atoms in which the spacing is 100 pm?
b. Electrons accelerated through a certain potential are diffracted by a thin of gold. Would you expect a beam of protons accelerated through the same potential to be diffracted when it strikes the film of gold? If not, what would you expect to see instead?

- The Doppler effect is one of the sources of the line broadening in atomic absorption spectroscopy. Atoms moving toward the light source encounter higher-frequency radiation than atoms moving away from the source. The difference in wavelength experienced by an atom moving at speed v (compared to one atrest) is / = v/c , where c is the velocity of light. Estimate the line width (in nanometers) of the lithiumline at 670.776(6707.76 Å) when the absorbing atoms are at a temperature of (a) 2000 K and (b) 3120 K.The average speed of an atom is given by v=8kT/m , where k is Boltzmann’s constant, Tis the absolute temperature, and m is its mass.arrow_forwardLasers are now used for the total or partial removal of skin tattoos. A laser with a wavelenth of 755 nm is used to remove tattoos in green or blue inks. (a) How much energy (in kJ/mol) is given off by the laser? (b) Compare the energy obtained in (a) with that given off by an x-ray (=1109m).arrow_forwardThe ionization energy of rubidium is 403 kJ/mol. Do x-rays with a wavelength of 85 nm have sufficient energy to ionize rubidium?arrow_forward
- The photoelectric effect is used today to make light-sensitive detectors; when light hits a sample of metal in a sealed compartment, a current of electrons may flow if the light has the proper wavelength. Cesium is a desirable component for such detectors. Why?arrow_forwardPhotons of infrared radiation are responsible for much of the warmth we feel when holding our hands before a fire. These photons will also warm other objects. How many infrared photons with a wavelength of 1.5106 m must be absorbed by the water to warm a cup of water (175 g) from 25.0 C to 40 C?arrow_forwardYou are an engineer designing a switch that works by the photoelectric effect. The metal you wish to use in your device requires 6.7 1019 J/atom to remove an electron. Will the switch work if the light falling on the metal has a wavelength of 540 nm or greater? Why or why not?arrow_forward
