Answer:

3A. This phenomenon can be seen in the discrete emission of the molecules.

3B. The emotion of the atoms is observed, from states high in energy to a state of minimum energy that is stable indefinitely.

3C. When an electron beam passes through an inhomogeneous magnetic field, it is divided into only two beams

3D. This is due to the stimulated emission

3E. The penetration of a potential barrier is observed in the radioactive emission of heavy atoms, where an alpha particle (Helium nucleus)

Explanation:

This problem asks for some experimental explanations of various quantum phenomena.

3A. This phenomenon can be seen in the discrete emission of the molecules.

In the classical explanation all states or energies are allowed, therefore when emitting energy (photons) there should be a continuum, this is not observed

In the correct quantum explanation only some states are allowed, therefore the emission must be discrete, which is observed in the emission or absorption of molecules and atoms

3B. The emotion of the atoms is observed, from states high in energy to a state of minimum energy that is stable indefinitely.

The incorrect classical explanation that if the minimum energy was zero the electrons cannot rotate around the nuclei and the atom collapses, this does not happen

3C. When an electron beam passes through an inhomogeneous magnetic field, it is divided into only two beams, which is evidence of the existence of two discrete states that we call spin, remember that a free electron beam has zero angular momentum.

3D. This is due to the stimulated emission that occurs when a photon passes through the emission zone, causing the atoms to have transitions and these emitted photons have the same initial photon location, the laser beam all photons are in phase and therefore it is coherent .

This is widely used for holographic and interference work

3E. The penetration of a potential barrier is observed in the radioactive emission of heavy atoms, where an alpha particle (Helium nucleus) leaves the atomic nucleus penetrating the barrier since its energy is lower than the nuclear barrier potential.

What is the work function of cadmium metal if light with = 9.85×1014hz is necessary to eject electrons?
Alika [10]

We use the Planck’s formula:

E = hv

where,

E = energy, h = planck’s constant = 6.6x10^-34 J s, v = frequency in Hz (Hz = 1 / s)

 

Subsituting the values to find for E:

E = (6.6×10^-34 J s) * 9.85×10^14 / s

E = 6.5x10^-19 J

The lesser the mass, the greater the acceleration for the given value of force. Why does this happen?
Tju [1.3M]
Newtons law states F=ma
so F/m=a
in addition it makes logical sense the lighter an object the easier it is to accelerate its velocity form 0 to some quantity

What is the wavelength of a 2.2 mhz ultrasound wave traveling through aluminum? assume that the speed of sound in aluminum is 51
Eva8 [605]
The frequency of a wave is equal to the linear speed divided the wavelength. so in equation form.
f = v / l
so the wavlength
l = v / f
where f is the frequency
v iss the linear speed
l is the wavelength

l = ( 5100 m/s ) / ( 2.2 Mhz ) ( 10^6 hz / 1 Mhz )
f = 0.0023 m
f = 2.3 mm
