- A certain helium ion (Z = 2) contains a single excited electron in the n = 3 quantum state. When this excited electron decays back to its ground state, what is the energy of the emitted photon? Enter the numerical value in units of eV.arrow_forwardIn positron-emission tomography (PET) used in medical research and diagnosis, compounds containing unstable nuclei that emit positrons are introduced into the brain, destined for a site of interest in the brain. When a positron is emitted, it goes only a short distance before coming nearly to rest. It forms a bound state with an electron, called "positronium", which is rather similar to a hydrogen atom. The binding energy of positronium is very small compared to the rest energy of an electron. After a short time the positron and electron annihilate. In the annihilation, the positron and the electron disappear, and all of their rest energy goes into two photons (particles of light) which have zero mass; all their energy is kinetic energy. These high energy photons, called "gamma rays", are emitted at nearly 180° to each other. What energy of gamma ray (in MeV, million electron volts) should each of the detectors be made sensitive to?

- The Bohr model correctly predicts the main energy levels not only for atomic hydrogen but also for other "one-electron" atoms where all but one of the atomic electrons has been removed, such as in He+ (one electron removed) or Li++ (two electrons removed). The negative muon (μ−)behaves like a heavy electron, with the same charge as the electron but with a mass 207 times as large as the electron mass. As a moving μ− comes to rest in matter, it tends to knock electrons out of atoms and settle down onto a nucleus to form a "one-muon" atom. For a system consisting of a nucleus of iridium (Ir192 with 77 protons and 115 neutrons) and just one negative muon, predict the energy in eV of a photon emitted in a transition from the first excited state to the ground state. The high-energy photons emitted by transitions between energy levels in such "muonic atoms" are easily observed in experiments with muons.arrow_forwardAn electron with kinetic energy of 12.50 eV hits a hydrogen atom in its ground state.
