- A baseball weighs 142 g. A professional pitcher throws a fast ball at a speed of 100 mph and a curve ball at 80 mph. What wavelengths are associated with the motions of the baseball? If the uncertainty in the position of the ball is 12 wavelength, which ball (fast ball or curve) has a more precisely known position? Can the uncertainty in the position of a curve ball be used to explain why batters frequently miss it?arrow_forwardIn 1885, Johann Balmer, a mathematician, derived the following relation for the wavelength of lines in the visible spectrum of hydrogen =364.5 n2( n2 4) where in nanometers and n is an integer that can be 3, 4, 5, . . . Show that this relation follows from the Bohr equation and the equation using the Rydberg constant. Note that in the Balmer series, the electron is returning to the n=2 level.arrow_forward6.96 When a helium atom absorbs light at 58.44 nm, an electron is promoted from the 1s orbital to a 2p orbital. Given that the ionization energy of (ground state) helium is 2372 kJ/ mol, find the longest wavelength of light that could eject an electron from the excited state helium atom.arrow_forward
- What major assumption (that was analogous to what had already been demonstrated for electromagnetic radiation) did de Broglie and Schrodinger make about the motion of tiny panicles?arrow_forwardInvestigating Energy Levels Consider the hypothetical atom X that has one electron like the H atom but has different energy levels. The energies of an electron in an X atom are described by the equation E=RHn3 where RH is the same as for hydrogen (2.179 1018 J). Answer the following questions, without calculating energy values. a How would the ground-state energy levels of X and H compare? b Would the energy of an electron in the n = 2 level of H be higher or lower than that of an electron in the n = 2 level of X? Explain your answer. c How do the spacings of the energy levels of X and H compare? d Which would involve the emission of a higher frequency of light, the transition of an electron in an H atom from the n = 5 to the n = 3 level or a similar transition in an X atom? e Which atom, X or H, would require more energy to completely remove its electron? f A photon corresponding to a particular frequency of blue light produces a transition from the n = 2 to the n = 5 level of a hydrogen atom. Could this photon produce the same transition (n = 12 to n = 5) in an atom of X? Explain.arrow_forwardHow many unpaired electrons are there in an atom of (a) phosphorus? (b) potassium?

You find an extra photon torpedo with a wavelength of 259 nm and fire it at the enemy vessel. Does this photon torpedo do any damage to the ship (does it eject an electron)? c.
