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.

Give 1 real life example of a scenario that takes advantage of the inverse relationship between force and time when impulse is c
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

On real life example of a scenario that takes advantage of the inverse relationship between force and time when impulse is constant is when making a serve with a lawn tennis racket

How It is an example of impulse is that when a serve is made by moving the bat slowly, the lawn tennis player uses less force and the ball is in contact with the string for longer a period

When however, the lawn tennis player moves the racket faster, with the strings of the racket highly tensioned  he uses more force and the ball also spends less time on the racket to produce the same momentum

Explanation:

The impulse of a force, ΔP is given by the following formula;

ΔP = F × Δt

Where ΔP is constant, we have;

F ∝ 1/Δt

Therefore, for the same impulse, when the force is increased, the time of contact is decreases and vice versa.

Two models of the same compound are shown. In what way is Model A better than Model B?
astra-53 [7]

The correct answer is Model A shows the three-dimensional shape of the molecule, but Model B does not.

Explanation:

Model A and B show the structure of a molecule. In the case of model A, the structure is represented through the use of three-dimensional shapes, while in model B the structure is represented using the letters of each element and showing how each element is connected to others.

In this context, one feature that makes model A better is that this represents the molecule using a 3D model, which is better to understand how the molecule looks like and what is its structure. Moreover, both models are alike because they show the number of atoms of each element, although model A does not show the types of elements.

A current of 3.75 A in a long, straight wire produces a magnetic field of 2.61 μT at a certain distance from the wire. Find thi
Bad White [126]

Given :

Current, I = 3.75 A .

Magnetic Field, B = 2.61\times 10^{-4}\ T

To Find :

The distance from the wire.

Solution :

We know,

B = K\dfrac{2i}{d}\\\\d = 10^{-7}\times \dfrac{2\times 3.75}{2.61\times 10^{-4}}\\\\d =  0.00287\ m \\\\d = 2.87\times 10^{-3}\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

Shaping will happen if _____.
Pavlova-9 [17]
What is being done in shaping is that it directs and guides the change in one's behavior. Therefore, what will happen when one undergoes shaping is that you encourage a lot of minor behaviors which would add up to one large action. The answer to this would be the first option.
