- e. Consider one unit cell and assume the length of the side of the cube is “a”. Remember that “a” is the distance between the centers of two adjacent atoms. How long is “a”, the edge of a unit cell, in terms of radius, r, of an atom? Write also your answer in the summary table.Answer: __________f. Based on the earlier questions, a simple cubic cell has the equivalent of only 1 atom. Recall the volume of sphere with radius, r, is expressed as V = 4/3 πr3. With this information, find the total volume of all the spheres in this unit cell, expressed in terms of r. (Hint: To do this, take the total number of atoms and multiply it by the volume of one atom, with radius, r)Answer: __________arrow_forwardA white dwarf star is essentially a degenerate electron gas, with a bunch of nuclei mixed in to balance the charge and to provide the gravitational attraction that holds the star together. In this problem you will derive a relation between the mass and the radius of a white dwarf star, modeling the star as a uniform-density sphere. White dwarf stars tend to be extremely hot by our standards; nevertheless, it is an excellent approximation in this problem to set T = O. The equilibrium radius of the white dwarf is that which minimizes the total energy Ugrav + Ukinetic. Sketch the total energy as a function of R, and find a formula for the equilibrium radius in terms of the mass. As the mass increases, does the radius increase or decrease? Does this make sense?arrow_forwardMy physics class has turned to online due to the COVID-19 and I am having trouble with some of the word problems my teacher gave me to work on.
