Find the radius of the electron’s orbit, the electron’s speed, and the energy of the atom for the first three stationary states of
55 keV x-ray photons are incident on a target. At what scattering angle do the scattered photons have an energy of 50 keV?
(a). What is the de Broglie wavelength of a baseball with a speed of ?
(b). What is the speed of a baseball with a de Broglie wavelength of ?
II Ultraviolet light with a wavelength of} shines on a gas of hydrogen atoms in their ground states. Some of the atoms are ionized by the light. What is the kinetic energy of the electrons that are freed in this process?
The wavelengths of light emitted by a firefly span the visible spectrum but have maximum intensity near 550 nm. A typical flash lasts for 100 ms and has a power output of 1.2 mW. How many photons does a firefly emit in one flash if we assume that all light is emitted at the peak intensity wavelength of 550 nm?
