    Question 1. Why are the wavelengths of the light emitted by the atom non-continuous, but

    discrete?

    Electrons exist in atoms only with energies of discrete values.

    Question 2. At what wavelength does our sun in our solar system emit the maximum

    intensity of light? The surface temperature of the sun is 5,778 K.

    T λ max =constant (eq 1b, Wien’s law)

    λ max=constant /T

    constant = 0.0029 m·K

    λ max=0.0029 m·K /T

    −7
    λ max=0.0029 m·K /5778 K=5.02×1 0 m=502nm

    0.0029 mK / 5778K = 5.02 nm.


    Question 3. The work function for chromium metal is 4.37 eV. What wavelength of radiation

    must be used to eject electrons with a velocity of 1.0 × 103 km s-1?

    Question 4. The radar gun measures the baseball speed with an error of ±3 km/h. What

    would be the uncertainty of the location of a baseball (145g)?

    Δp·Δx ≥h /4 π (eq 6 in Topic 1B.3. page 19)

    Δp=mΔv

    Δx ≥ h/(4 πmΔv )

    Question 5. Suppose a proton is confined to a box of width L=2.00 x 10-15 m (a typical

    nuclear radius).
    a) What are the energies of the ground and the first excited states?

    The mass of proton is m= 1.67 x 10-27kg

    The ground state:

    E1= n2h2/8mL2= (1 x (6.626x10-34 J·s)2/(8x(1.67x10-27 kg)x(2x10-15m)2)= 0.82 x 10-11 J

    The first excited state:

    E2=22 E1= 4 x 0.82 x 10-11 J= 3.28 x 10-11 J

    b) If the proton makes a transition from the first excited state to the ground state, what are

    the energy and the frequency of the emitted photon?

    The energy of the emitted photon is

    E=E2-E1

    E= (3.28 x 10-11 J) - (0.82 x 10-11 J) = 2.46 x 10-11 J

    We can use ν=E/h to find the frequency,

    ν=E/h = (2.46 x 10-11 J) / (6.626x10-34 J·s)= 0.37 x 1023 Hz
