8. Consider a potential barrier defined by 0 U(x)=Uo 0 T= x L with Up = 1.00 eV. An electron with energy E> 1 eV moving in the positive - direction is incident on this potential. The transmission probability for this situation is given by 4(E/U₁) [(E/U₁)-1] sin² √2m(E-Uo) L/h +4(E/Uo) [(E/U₁) - 1] It is found that the reflection probability is zero for E= 1.10 eV and non-zero for smaller incident energies. What is the width of the potential barrier L?

In the Millikan oil drop experiment tiny charged oil droplets generated by a spray are allowed to fall under gravity through a hole in a top electrode, T, towards a bottom electrode B separated from T by 1 cm. When a holding voltage Vh = +0.25V is applied between T and B the droplets are seen to be suspended motionless between the electrodes. What is the specific charge of the droplet q/m?
You are given 1.0 [g] of aluminum (mass density = 2700 kg/m3) and asked to make a wire, using all the aluminum, that will dissipate 7.5 [W] when connected to a 1.5 [V] battery. What length and diameter will you choose for your wire?
Parallel conducting plates create nearly uniform fields that are used to accelerate and direct beams of electrons. Typically we would free the electrons from a surface by heating it up. One way is to run a current through a wire with resistance. The power dissipated in the wire causes it to increase its temperature to the point that it can radiate that power away, mostly carried off as light. The hot electrons escape the potential barrier at the surface and are "free" to use. Consider a source of electrons that is small, like a tiny hot filament. The electrons are freed from the surface but the positive charge they leave behind holds them in a cloud near the filament. Now we add another plate at voltage VV some distance dd away. We put a little hole in that plate to enable the electrons to zip on through. The experiment looks something like this. While they seem antiquated, the concept is still useful. It is the basis of modern X-ray tubes, and until only a few years ago all…
A stream of electrons with a linear number density of 3.10 x 1011 electrons/meter are accelerated from rest by a 62.0-V potential difference applied across two parallel plates. The electrons then pass through an aperture in the high voltage plate and into a current collector where the beam current is measured. Note: The mass of an electron is 9.11 x 10-31 kg.
