Answer to Problem 38P

The wavelength for H2 , HD and D2 are 4.43μm , 3.88μm and 3.18μm respectively.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The effective force constant is 580N/m .

Formula used:

The expression for wavelength is given by,

  λ=hcE0

The expression for energy is given by,

  E0=h2πKμ

Calculation:

The energy for H2 is calculated as,

  E0,H2=h2πKμ=6.634× 10 34J/s2π 580N/m 3.3× 10 27 =(( 4.41× 10 20 J)( 1eV 1.6× 10 19 J ))=0.28eV

The wavelength of H2 is calculated as,

  λH2=hcE0=1.24× 10 6eVm0.28eV=(( 4.43× 10 6 m)( 10 6 μm 1m ))=4.43μm

The energy for HD is calculated as,

  E0,HD=h2πKμ=6.634× 10 34J/s2π 580N/m 4( 3.3× 10 27 ) 3 =(( 5.09× 10 20 J)( 1eV 1.6× 10 19 J ))=0.32eV

The wavelength of HD is calculated as,

  λHD=hcE0=1.24× 10 6eVm0.32eV=(( 3.88× 10 6 m)( 10 6 μm 1m ))=3.88μm

The energy for D2 is calculated as,

  E0,D2=h2πKμ=6.634× 10 34J/s2π 580N/m 2( 3.3× 10 27 )=(( 6.24× 10 20 J)( 1eV 1.6× 10 19 J ))=0.39eV

The wavelength of D2 is calculated as,

  λD2=hcE0=1.24× 10 6eVm0.39eV=(( 3.88× 10 6 m)( 10 6 μm 1m ))=3.18μm

Conclusion:

Therefore, the wavelength for H2 , HD and D2 are 4.43μm , 3.88μm and 3.18μm respectively.

A Jamin interferometer is a device for measuring or for comparing the indices of refraction of gases. A beam of monochromatic light is split into two parts, each of which is directed along the axis of a separate cylindrical tube before being recombined into a single beam that is viewed through a telescope. Suppose we are given the following, • Length of each tube is L = 0.4 m. • λ= 598 nm. Both tubes are initially evacuated, and constructive interference is observed in the center of the field of view. As air is slowly let into one of the tubes, the central field of view changes dark and back to bright a total of 198 times. (a) What is the index of refraction for air? (b) If the fringes can be counted to ±0.25 fringe, where one fringe is equivalent to one complete cycle of intensity variation at the center of the field of view, to what accuracy can the index of refraction of air be determined by this experiment?
