Ejection of Electrons from Hydrogen by Incident Photons Light of wavelength 80 nm is incident on a sample of hydrogen gas, resul

ting in electrons being ejected from the atoms. N.B. The energy of these photons is much smaller than the rest energy of the electron, so you don't need relativistic expressions. Assume that the photon is destroyed in this process, leaving only the electron moving away from a stationary hydrogen ion.
a. With the gas in thermal equilibrium at room temperature, what would be the maximum kinetic energy of ejected electrons?
b. When an intense light source of the same wavelength is shone on the gas sample, a small number of electrons with kinetic energy as much as 10.2 eV greater than you calculated in part a. Explain how this can be.

Answer:

a)   K_{max} = 1.9 eV = 3.04 10⁻¹⁹ J,b ) This means that some electrons are at the first excited level of the hydrogen atom, which is highly likely as the temperature rises.

Explanation:

a) To calculate the maximum kinetic energy of the expelled electrons let's use the relationships of the photoelectric effect

      K_{max}= h f - Φ

Where K is the kinetic energy, h the Planck constant that is worth 6.63 10⁻³⁴ Js, f the frequency and Φ the work function

The speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

     c = λ f

Let's analyze the work function, it is the energy needed to start an electron from a metal, in this case to start an electron from a hydrogen atom its fundamental energy is needed, so

     Φ= E₀ = 13.6 eV

let's replace and calculate the energy of the incident photon

     E = h c / λ

     E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/80 10⁻⁹

     E = 2,486 10⁻¹⁸ J

Let's reduce to eV

     E = 2,486 10⁻¹⁸ (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹)

     E = 15.5 eV

Now we can calculate the kinetic energy

     K_{max}= h c / f - fi

      K_{max} = 15.5 -13.6

     K_{max} = 1.9 eV

b)     Extra energy = 10.2 eV

The total kinetic energy of electrons is

       Total kinetic energy = 1.9 +10.2 = 12.1 eV

For the calculation we are assuming that all the electors are in the hydrogen base state, but for temperatures greater than 0K some electors may be in some excited state, so less energy is needed to tear them out of hydrogen atom.

Let's analyze this possibility

      ΔE = E photon - Total kinetic energy electron

      ΔE = 15.5 - 12.1

      ΔE = 3.4 eV

If we use the Bohr ratio for the hydrogen atom

     E_{n} = 13.606 / n2

     n = √ 13.606 / En

     n = √ (13606 / 3.4)

     n = 2

This means that some electrons are at the first excited level of the hydrogen atom, which is highly likely as the temperature rises.

Combine these three velocity vectors into a resultant: 3.0 m/s north, 4.0 m/s east 1.0 m/s west. Identify the resultant vector
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The resultant vector is 1 m/s

Explanation:

The resultant vector is 1 m/s west based on triangle law of vector addition, when two sides of a triangle is represented by two vectors, the resultant vector is the third side of the triangle.

Why are noise considerations important in optical fiber communications? 3. Describe the principle of "population inversion".
pochemuha

Answer and Explanation:

the electronic devices always have some noises present in the signal

there are some important considerations in optical fiber communications these are.

  • the noise which is contributed by transmitter are electronic random noise, low frequency noise
  • noise which is contributed by laser are relative intensity noise, mode partition noise, conversion of phase noise to amplitude noise.
  • noise contributed by photo detector are quantum shot noise, shot noise from dark current, avalanche multiplication noise.

PRINCIPLE OF POPULATION INVERSION :

The principle of population inversion is defined as for production of high percentage of simulated emission for a laser beam the number of atoms in higher state should be greater than lower energy state
