- According to your lab partner, a 2.00-cm-thick sodium-iodide crystal absorbs all but 10% of lays from a radioactive source and a 4.00-cm piece of the same material absorbs all but 5%? Is this result reasonable?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).
