Get started for freeThe electrons in a cathode-ray tube are accelerated through a potential difference and then shot through a 33-nm-diameter circular aperture. What is the diameter of the bright spot on an electron detector behind the aperture?
An electron with 2.00 eV of kinetic energy collides with the atom shown in Figure Ex 38.24.
a. Is the electron able to excite the atom? Why or why not?
b. If your answer to part a was yes, what is the electron’s kinetic energy after the collision?
How would the graph of Figure 38.2 look if classical physics provided the correct description of the photoelectric effect? Draw the graph and explain your reasoning. Assume that the light intensity remains constant as its frequency and wavelength are varied.
Very large, hot stars—much hotter than our sun—can be identified by the way in which ions in their atmosphere absorb light. What are the three longest wavelengths, in nm, in the Balmer series of ?
Electron 1 is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 100 V. Electron 2 is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 200 V. Afterward, which electron has the larger de Broglie wavelength? Explain
