Q

describe Rutherford’s gold foil experiment?

A

the closer you shoot, the more deflection of particles

17
Q

what is the complementary principle?

A

wave and particle aspects are complementary
- both needed for full description
- not contradictory because nature never manifests both at once

18
Q

short wavelength = _____ energy

A

high

19
Q

short wavelength, high energy = _____ localization

A

precise

20
Q

short wavelength, high energy = _____ change in momentum

A

large

21
Q

long wavelength = _____ energy photon

A

low

22
Q

long wavelength = ______ localization

A

prevents

23
Q

long wavelength = _____ change in momentum

A

small

24
Q

describe Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle

A

inability to observe physical reality without disturbing it

25
Q

a baseball with mass m=0.150kg is thrown at a speed of 45m/s.
use deBroglie’s wave particle duality (λ=h/p)

A

h/p = h/(mv)
(6.63x10^-34)/(0.15kg)(45m/s)
= 9.8x10^-35

26
Q

an electron is traveling at a speed of 2.2x10^6m/s
use deBroglie’s wave particle duality (λ=h/p)

A

h/p=h/(mv)
(6.63x10^-34)/(9.1x10^-31)(2.2x10^6)
= 3.3x10^-10

27
Q

a magnesium surface has a work function of 3.68eV, what is the maximum wavelength?

A
28
Q

a magnesium surface has a work function of 3.68eV, if wavelength is 215nm, will the electron be ejected?

A

hc/λ = Wo + KEe
(6.63x10^-34)(3x10^8)/(215x10^-9m) = 3.68eV
(3.68)(1.6x10^-19) = 3.49x10^-19
1/2mv^2
1/2(9.1x10^-31)v^2 = 3.49x10^-19
v=8.76x10^5

29
Q

what is wave particle duality?

A

interference is a wave phenomenon
- waves can exhibit particle-like characteristics
- particles can exhibit wave-like characteristics
- need both to irreconcilable aspects for complete description

30
Q

when photons come in, a scattered photon will have a _____ energy and a _____ wavelength

A

lower
higher

31
Q

what is the Compton effect?

A

electrons should oscillate at some frequency as waves then re-rediate energy absorbed by the wave
- outgoing radiation at a lower frequency and longer wavelength

32
Q

mass of a photon?

A

have no mass

33
Q

the work function for silver is Wo=4.73eV. find the minimum frequency that light must have to eject electrons from this surface?

A
34
Q

what is the photoelectric effect?

A

photons are incident on metal plate

35
Q

how many photons per second are given off by a 60W light bulb?

A
36
Q

what is Planck’s quantization hypothesis?

A

energy is quantized

37
Q

higher energy = ____ frequency

A

higher

38
Q

higher energy = _____ wavelength

A

lower
