- When a nucleus (decays, does the (particle move continuously from inside the nucleus to outside? That is, does it travel each point along an imaginary line from inside to out? Explain.arrow_forwardA Thomson-type experiment with relativistic electrons. One of the earliest experiments to show that p = mv (rather than p = mv) was that of Neumann. [G. Neumann, Ann. Physik 45:529 (1914)]. The apparatus shown in Figure P4.5 is identical to Thomsons except that the source of high-speed electrons is a radioactive radium source and the magnetic field B is arranged to act on the electron over its entire trajectory from source to detector. The combined electric and magnetic fields act as a velocity selector, only passing electrons with speed v, where v = V/Bd (Equation 4.6), while in the region where there is only a magnetic field the electron moves in a circle of radius r, with r given by p = Bre. This latter region (E = 0, B = constant) acts as a momentum selector because electrons with larger momenta have paths with larger radii. (a) Show that the radius of the circle described by the electron is given by r = (l2 + y2)/2y. (b) Typical values for the Neumann experiment were d = 2.51 104 m, B = 0.0177 T, and l = 0.0247 m. For V = 1060 V, y, the most critical value, was measured to be 0.0024 0.0005 m. Show that these values disagree with the y value calculated from p = mv but agree with the y value calculated from p = mv within experimental error. (Hint: Find v from Equation 4.6, use mv = Bre or mv = Bre to find r, and use r to find y.) Figure P4.5 The Neumann apparatus.arrow_forwardThis problem demonstrates that the binding energy of the electron in the ground state of a hydrogen atom is much smaller than the rest mass energies of the proton and electron. Calculate the mass equivalent in u of the 13.6-eV binding energy of an electron in a hydrogen atom, and compare this with the known mass of the hydrogen atom. Subtract the known mass of the proton from the known mass of the hydrogen atom. Take the ratio of the binding energy of the electron (13.6 eV) to the energy equivalent of the electron’s mass (0.511 MeV). Discuss how your answers confirm the stated purpose of this problem.arrow_forward

(b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are unreasonable or inconsistent?arrow_forwardThe purpose of this problem is to show in three ways that the binding energy at the election in a hydrogen atom is negligible compared with the masses of the proton and electron. (a) Calculate the mass equivalent in u of the 13.6eV binding energy of an electron in a hydrogen atom, and compete this with the mass of the hydrogen atom obtained from Appendix A. (b) Subtract the mass at the proton given in Table 31.2 from the mass at the hydrogen atom given in Appendix A. You will find the difference is equal to the electron’s mass to three digits, implying the binding energy is small in comparison. (c) Take the ratio of the binding energy at the electron (13.6 eV) to the energy equivalent of the electron's mass (0.511 MeV). (d) Discuss how your answers confirm the stated purpose of this problem.arrow_forward
