Chapter 2, Problem 2.3QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The terms α particle, β particle, γ ray and X ray need to be defined.

Concept introduction:

α particles or α rays are made up of positively charged particles which are deflected away from a positively charged plate.  This is emitted by radioactive substances.

β particles or β rays are made up of electrons which are deflected away from a negatively charged plate.  This is emitted by radioactive substances.

γ rays are of high energy.  They have no charge.  Therefore they are unaffected by external magnetic or electric field.  This is emitted by radioactive substances.

X rays are produced when cathode rays are pointed towards glass or metal.  X rays have high energy to penetrate matter.  X rays are not deflected by electric or magnetic fields, which tells that X rays do not have charged particles.

Laser. Indicate the relationship between metastable state and stimulated emission.
The table includes macrostates characterized by 4 energy levels (&) that are equally spaced but with different degrees of occupation. a) Calculate the energy of all the macrostates (in joules). See if they all have the same energy and number of particles. b) Calculate the macrostate that is most likely to exist. For this macrostate, show that the population of the levels is consistent with the Boltzmann distribution. macrostate 1 macrostate 2 macrostate 3 ε/k (K) Populations Populations Populations 300 5 3 4 200 7 9 8 100 15 17 16 0 33 31 32 DATO: k = 1,38×10-23 J K-1
