2.3. Find the de Broglie wavelength of (a) an electron, and (b) a proton with speeds of 5 × 106 m/s
and compare with the radius of the hydrogen atom, ao. Would either of these particles behave
like a wave inside the H atom?
What is the wavelength in meters of a photon generated by an electron going from n
= (8.000x10^0) to n= (1.00x10^0)? Answer to 3 significant figures and in scientific
notation. Sorry about the two n values, I can either do scientific notation need for
the answer or you have to enter the answer without scientific notation. I can't
change between them.
Note: Your answer is assumed to be reduced to the highest power possible.

- Question #1 a) Plot the energy spectral density p(2) of black-body radiation at T=3000 K and at 7= 5000 K. (These correspond to the apparent temperatures of "warm white" and "cool white" light bulbs.) (Note: Show both curves on a single graph, using a standard plotting software. Report the wave- length in nanometers.) b) For each of these two temperatures, at which wavelength is the radiation intensity maximum? (Note: Report the wavelengths in nanometers.

W/m?arrow_forwardThe wavelength λmax at which the Planck distribution is a maximum can be found by solving dρ(λ,T)/dT = 0. Differentiate ρ(λ,T) with respect to T and show that the condition for the maximum can be expressed as xex − 5(ex − 1) = 0, where x = hc/λkT. There are no analytical solutions to this equation, but a numerical approach gives x = 4.965 as a solution. Use this result to confirm Wien’s law, that λmaxT is a constant, deduce an expression for the constant, and compare it to the value quoted in the text.arrow_forward
