An electron in a box is in the ground state with energy 2.0 eV. (a) Find the width of the box. (b) How much energy is needed to

excite the electron to its first excited state? (c) If the electron makes a transition from an excited state to the ground state with the simultaneous emission of 30.0-eV photon, find the quantum number of the excited state?

Explanation:

Energy of the electron in the ground state, E_o=2\ eV=2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ J=3.2\times 10^{-19}\ J

(a) The energy of the electron is square well is given by :

E=\dfrac{n^2h^2}{8ml}  

Where

l is the width of the box

E_o=\dfrac{n^2h^2}{8ml}  

l=\dfrac{n^2h^2}{8mE_o}  

l=\dfrac{(1)^2\times (6.63\times 10^{-34})^2}{8\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 3.2\times 10^{-19}}

l=1.88\times10^{-19}\ m

(b) For first excited state, n = 2

E_1=\dfrac{(n)^2h^2}{8ml}  

E_1=\dfrac{(2)^2\times ((6.63\times 10^{-34})^2)^2}{8\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 1.88\times10^{-19}}  

E_1=1.28\times 10^{-18}\ J

(c) Let n is the value of quantum number of the excited state. Again using this formula as :

E=\dfrac{(n)^2h^2}{8ml}  

n=\sqrt{\dfrac{8ml E}{h^2}}

n=\sqrt{\dfrac{8 \times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 1.88 \times 10^{-19} \times 30\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{(6.63\times 10^{-34})^2}}

n = 3.86

or

n = 4

Hence, this is the required solution.

A 10kg sphere hits a stationary 8kg sphere. After the collision the 8kg sphere moves off in the positive direction at 4m/s. If t
Bumek [7]

M = mass of the first sphere = 10 kg

m = mass of the second sphere = 8 kg

V = initial velocity of the first sphere before collision = 10 m/s

v = initial velocity of the second sphere before collision = 0 m/s

V' = final velocity of the first sphere after collision = ?

v' = final velocity of the second sphere after collision = 4 m/s

using conservation of momentum

M V + m v = M V' + m v'

(10) (10) + (8) (0) = (10) V' + (8) (4)

100 = (10) V' + 32

(10) V' = 68

V' = 6.8 m/s

A guy wire 1034 feet long is attached to the top of a tower. When pulled taut, it touches level ground 699 feet from the base of
kolezko [41]

Answer:

80.386 degrees

Explanation:

We use the cosine equation here (which is the adjacent side of the unknown angle divided by the hypotenuse

The adjacent side = 699ft

The hypotenuse = 1034ft

using cos∅ = Adjacent/hypotenuse

where ∅ is the unknown angle

cos ∅ = 699/1034 = 0.167

∅ = arccos 0.167 = 80.368°

As easy as one can imagine
