Consider a small sphere (an actual sphere, not a Gaussian surface) of radius R = 0.1 m that is charged throughout its interior, but not uniformly so. The charge density is p = Br , where r is the distance from the center, and B = 10ʻ C/m* is a constant. Of course, for r greater than R, the charge density is zero. R= 0.1 m (a) What does the charge density converge to as you approach the center of the sphere? Does it increase or decrease as we move toward the surface? Explain. (b) What does E converge to as you approach the center of the sphere? How do you know? How does this compare to the E of a point charge? [Hint: Consider the symmetry of the problem.]

Early in the 20th century, a leading model of the structure of the atom was that of English physicist J. J. Thomson (the discoverer of the electron). In Thomson’s model, an atom consisted of a sphere of positively charged material in which were embedded negatively charged electrons, like chocolate chips in a ball of cookie dough. Consider such an atom consisting of one electron with mass m and charge -e, which may be regarded as a point charge, and a uniformly charged sphere of charge +e and radius R. By that time time, it was known that excited atoms emit light waves of only certain frequencies. In his model, the frequency of emitted light is the same as the oscillation frequency of the electron (s) problems in the atom. What radius (in millimeter) would a Thomson-model atom need for it to produce red light of frequency 4.57 x 1014 Hz? (Don't express your answer in scientific notation)
