Q: 11.1 (a) Find the maximum frequency of X-rays produced by \small 30 \hspace{1mm}kV electrons.

Answer:

The X-Rays produced by electrons of 30 keV will have a maximum energy of 30 keV.

By relation,

\\eV_{0}=h\nu \\ \nu =\frac{eV_{0}}{h}\\ \nu =\frac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 30\times 10^{3}}{6.62\times 10^{-34}}\\ \nu =7.25\times 10^{18}\ Hz

Q: 11.1 (b) Find the minimum wavelength of X-rays produced by \small 30 \hspace{1mm}kV electrons.

Q: 11.8 The threshold frequency for a certain metal is 3.3\times 10^1^4\hspace{1mm}Hz . If light of frequency 8.2\times 10^1^4\hspace{1mm}Hz is incident on the metal, predict the cutoff voltage for the photoelectric emission.

Answer:

Threshold frequency of the given metal( \nu _{0} )= 3.3\times 10^1^4\hspace{1mm}Hz

The work function of the given metal is

\\\phi _{0}=h\nu _{0}\\ \phi _{0}=6.62\times 10^{-34}\times 3.3\times 10^{-14}\\ \phi _{0}=2.18\times 10^{-19}\ J

The energy of the incident photons

\\E=h\nu \\ E=6.62\times 10^{-34}\times 8.2\times 10^{14}\\ E=5.42\times 10^{-19}\ J

Maximum Kinetic Energy of the ejected photo electrons is

\\E-\phi _{0}=3.24\times 10^{-19}\ J\\ E-\phi _{0}=2.025\ eV

Therefore the cut off voltage is 2.025 eV

Q : 11.9 The work function for a certain metal is 4.2\hspace{2mm}eV . Will this metal give photoelectric emission for incident radiation of wavelength 330\hspace{1mm}nm ?

Answer:

The energy of incident photons is E given by

\\E=h\nu \\ E=6.62\times 10^{-34}\times 7.21\times 10^{14}\\ E=4.77\times 10^{-19}\ J

Maximum Kinetic Energy of ejected electrons is

\\KE_{max}=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\\ KE_{max}=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times (6\times 10^{5})^{2}}{2} \\KE_{max}=1.64\times 10^{-19}\ J

Work Function of the given metal is

\phi _{0}=E-KE_{max}=3.13\times 10^{-19}\ J

The threshold frequency is therefore given by

\\\nu _{0}=\frac{\phi _{0}}{h}\\ \nu _{0}=4.728\times 10^{14}\ Hz

Q: 11.20 (a) Estimate the speed with which electrons emitted from a heated emitter of an evacuated tube impinge on the collector maintained at a potential difference of 500\hspace{1mm}V with respect to the emitter. Ignore the small initial speeds of the electrons. The specific charge of the electron, i.e., its e/m is given to be 1.76\times 10^1^1\hspace{1mm}kg^-^1 .

Answer:

The kinetic energy of an electron accelerated through Potential Difference V is K=eV where e the electronic charge.

Speed of the electrons after being accelerated through a potential difference of 500 V will be

\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m_{e}}}\\ v=\sqrt{\frac{2eV}{m_{e}}}\\ v=\sqrt{2\times 1.76\times 10^{11}\times 500}\\ v=1.366\times 10^{7}ms^{-1} Specific charge is e/m e =1.366 \times 10 11 C/kg

Q: 11.20 (b) Use the same formula you employ in (a) to obtain electron speed for an collector potential of 10 MV. Do you see what is wrong? In what way is the formula to be modified?

Answer:

Using the same formula we get the speed of electrons to be 1.88 \times 10 9 m/s. This is wrong because the speed of the electron is coming out to be more than the speed of light. This discrepancy is occurring because the electron will be travelling at very large speed and in such cases(relativistic) the mass of the object cannot be taken to be the same as the rest mass.

In such a case

m=\frac{m_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

where m is the relativistic mass, m 0 is the rest mass of the body, v is the very high speed at which the body is travelling and c is the speed of light.

Q : 11.21 (a) A monoenergetic electron beam with electron speed of 5.20\times 10^6\hspace{1mm}ms^-^1 is subject to a magnetic field of \dpi{100} 1.30\times 10^{-4}\hspace{1mm}T normal to the beam velocity. What is the radius of the circle traced by the beam, given e/m for electron equals \dpi{100} 1.76\times 10^1^1\hspace{1mm}Ckg^-^1 .

Answer:

The force due to the magnetic field on the electron will be F b =evB (since the angle between the velocity and magnetic field is 90 o )

This F b acts as the centripetal force required for circular motion. Therefore

\\F_{b}=\frac{mv^{2}}{r}\\ evB=\frac{mv^{2}}{r}\\ r=\frac{mv}{eB}\\ r=\frac{5.2\times 10^{6}}{1.76\times 10^{11}\times 1.3\times 10^{-4}}\\ r=0.227 m

Q: 11.21 (b) Is the formula you employ in (a) valid for calculating radius of the path of a 20\hspace{1mm}MeV electron beam? If not, in what way is it modified?

Answer:

The formula used in (a) can not be used. As the electron would be travelling at a very high speed we can not take its mass to be equal to its rest mass as its motion won't be within the non-relativistic limits.

The value for the mass of the electron would get modified to

m=\frac{m_{0}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

where m is the relativistic mass, m 0 is the rest mass of the body, v is the very high speed at which the body is travelling and c is the speed of light.

The radius of the circular path would be

r=\frac{m_{e}v}{eB\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

Q: 11.22 An electron gun with its collector at a potential of 100\hspace{1mm}V fires out electrons in a spherical bulb containing hydrogen gas at low pressure ( \sim 10^-^2\hspace{1mm}mm of Hg). A magnetic field of 2.83\times 10^4\hspace{1mm}T curves the path of the electrons in a circular orbit of radius 12.0\hspace{1mm}cm (The path can be viewed because the gas ions in the path focus the beam by attracting electrons, and emitting light by electron capture; this method is known as the ‘fine beam tube’ method.) . Determine e/m from the data.

Answer:

The kinetic energy of an electron after being accelerated through a potential difference of V volts is eV where e is the electronic charge.

The speed of the electron will become

v=\sqrt{\frac{2eV}{m_{e}}}

Since the magnetic field curves, the path of the electron in circular orbit the electron's velocity must be perpendicular to the magnetic field.

The force due to the magnetic field is therefore F b =evB

This magnetic force acts as a centripetal force. Therefore

\\\frac{m_{e}v^{2}}{r}=evB\\ \\\frac{m_{e}v}{r}=eB\\ \frac{m_{e}}{r}\times \sqrt{\frac{2eV}{m_{e}}}=eB\\ \sqrt{\frac{e}{m_{e}}}=\frac{\sqrt{2V}}{Br}\\ \frac{e}{m_{e}}=\frac{2V}{r^{2}B^{2}}\\ \frac{e}{m_{e}}=\frac{2\times 100}{(2.83\times 10^{-4})^{2}\times (0.12)^{2}}\\ \frac{e}{m_{e}}=1.73\times 10^{11}C\ kg^{-1}

Q: 11.23 (a) An X-ray tube produces a continuous spectrum of radiation with its short wavelength end at 0.45\dot{A} . What is the maximum energy of a photon in the radiation?

Answer:

The wavelength of photons with maximum energy=0.45 A^{\circ}

Energy of the photons is

\\E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }\\ E=\frac{6.62\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{0.45\times 10^{-10}}\\ E=4.413\times 10^{-15} J\\ E=27.6\ keV

Q: 11.23 (b) From your answer to (a), guess what order of accelerating voltage (for electrons) is required in such a tube?

Answer:

In such a tube where X-ray of energy 27.6 keV is to be produced the electrons should be having an energy about the same value and therefore accelerating voltage should be of order 30 KeV.

Q: 11.24 In an accelerator experiment on high-energy collisions of electrons with positrons, a certain event is interpreted as annihilation of an electron-positron pair of total energy 10.2\hspace{1mm}BeV into two \gamma -rays of equal energy. What is the wavelength associated with each \gamma -ray? ( 1\hspace{1mm}BeV=10^9\hspace{1mm}eV )

Answer:

The total energy of 2 \gamma rays=10.2 BeV

The average energy of 1 \gamma ray, E=5.1 BeV

The wavelength of the gamma-ray is given by

\\\lambda =\frac{c}{\nu }\\\lambda =\frac{hc}{h\nu }\\ \lambda =\frac{hc}{E}\\ \lambda =\frac{6.62\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{5.1\times 10^{9}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}\\ \lambda =2.436\times 10^{-16}m

Q: 11.25 (a) Estimating the following two numbers should be interesting. The first number will tell you why radio engineers do not need to worry much about photons! The second number tells you why our eye can never ‘count photons’, even in barely detectable light. The number of photons emitted per second by a Medium wave transmitter of 10\hspace{1mm}kW power, emitting radiowaves of wavelength 500\hspace{1mm}m .

Answer:

The power emitted by the transmitter(P) =10kW

Wavelengths of photons being emiited=500 m

The energy of one photon is E

\\E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }\\ E=\frac{6.62\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{500}\\ E=3.96\times 10^{-28}J

Number of photons emitted per second(n) is given by

\\n=\frac{P}{E}\\ n=\frac{10000}{3.96\times 10^{-28}}\\ n=2.525\times 10^{31}s^{-1}

Q: 11.25 (b) Estimating the following two numbers should be interesting. The first number will tell you why radio engineers do not need to worry much about photons! The second number tells you why our eye can never ‘count photons’, even in barely detectable light.The number of photons entering the pupil of our eye per second corresponding to the minimum intensity of white light that we humans can perceive (\sim10^-^1^0\hspace{1mm}Wm^2). Take the area of the pupil to be about 0.4 cm2, and the average frequency of white light to be about 6\times10^1^4\ Hz.

Answer:

The minimum perceivable intensity of white light(I)=10 -10 Wm -2

Area of the pupil(A)=0.4 cm 2 =4 \times 10 -5 m 2

Power of light falling on our eyes at minimum perceivable intensity is P

P=IA

P=10 -10 \times 4 \times 10 -5

P=4 \times 10 -15 W

The average frequency of white light( \nu )=6 \times 10 14 Hz

The average energy of a photon in white light is

\\E=h\nu \\ E=6.62\times 10^{-34}\times 6\times 10^{14}\\ E=3.972\times 10^{-19} J

Number of photons reaching our eyes is n

\\n=\frac{P}{E}\\ n=\frac{4\times 10^{-15}}{3.972\times 10^{-19}}\\ n=1.008\times 10^{4}s^{-1}

Q: 11.26 Ultraviolet light of wavelength 2271\hspace{1mm}\dot{A} from a 100\hspace{1mm}W mercury source irradiates a photo-cell made of molybdenum metal. If the stopping potential is -1.3\hspace{1mm}V , estimate the work function of the metal. How would the photo-cell respond to a high intensity (\sim 10^5\hspace{1mm}Wm^2) red light of wavelength 6382\hspace{1mm}\dot{A} produced by a He-Ne laser?

Answer:

The energy of the incident photons is E given by

\\E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }\\ E=\frac{6.62\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{2271\times 10^{-10}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}\\ E=5.465\ eV

Since stopping potential is -1.3 V work function is

\\\phi _{0}=5.465-1.3\\ \phi _{0}=4.165 eV

The energy of photons which red light consists of is E R

\\E_{R}=\frac{hc}{\lambda _{R}}\\ E_{R}=\frac{6.62\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{6382\times 10^{-10}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}\\ E_{R}=1.945eV

Since the energy of the photons which red light consists of have less energy than the work function, there will be no photoelectric emission when they are incident.

Q: 11.27 Monochromatic radiation of wavelength 640.2\hspace{1mm}nm (1\hspace{1mm}nm=10^-^9\hspace{1mm}m) from a neon lamp irradiates photosensitive material made of caesium on tungsten. The stopping voltage is measured to be 0.54\hspace{1mm}V . The source is replaced by an iron source and its 427.2\hspace{1mm}nm line irradiates the same photo-cell. Predict the new stopping voltage.

Answer:

The wavelength of photons emitted by the neon lamp=640.2 nm

The energy of photons emitted by the neon lamp is E given by

\\E_{1}=\frac{hc}{\lambda }\\ E_{1}=\frac{6.62\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{640.2\times 10^{-9}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}\\ E_{1}=1.939eV

Stopping potential is 0.54 V

Work function is therefore

\\\phi _{0}=1.939-0.54\\\phi _{0}=1.399 eV

The wavelength of photons emitted by the iron source=427.2 nm

The energy of photons emitted by the ion source is

\\E_{2}=\frac{hc}{\lambda }\\ E_{2}=\frac{6.62\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{427.2\times 10^{-9}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}\\ E_{2}=2.905eV

New stopping voltage is

\\E_{2}-\phi _{0}=2.905-1.399=1.506V

Q: 11.28 A mercury lamp is a convenient source for studying frequency dependence of photoelectric emission since it gives a number of spectral lines ranging from the UV to the red end of the visible spectrum. In our experiment with rubidium photo-cell, the following lines from a mercury source were used:

\lambda _1=3650\hspace{1mm}\dot{A},\lambda _2=4047\hspace{1mm}\dot{A}, \lambda _3=4358\hspace{1mm}\dot{A}, \lambda _4=5461\hspace{1mm}\dot{A},\lambda _5=6907\hspace{1mm}\dot{A}.

The stopping voltages, respectively, were measured to be

V _0_1=1.28\hspace{1mm}V,V _0_2=0.95\hspace{1mm}V,V _0_3=0.74\hspace{1mm}V, V_0_4=0.16\hspace{1mm}V,V _0_5=0\hspace{1mm}V.

Determine the value of Planck’s constant h , the threshold frequency and work function for the material.

Answer:

\\h\nu =\phi _{0}+eV\\ V=(\frac{h}{e})\nu -\phi _{0}\\

where V is stopping potential, h is planks constant, e is electronic charge, \nu is frequency of incident photons and \phi _{0} is work function of metal in electron Volts.

To calculate the planks constant from the above date we plot the stopping potential vs frequency graph

\nu_{1}=\frac{c}{\lambda_{1} }=\frac{3\times 10^{8}}{3650\times 10^{-10}}=8.219\times 10^{14}\ Hz

\nu_{2}=\frac{c}{\lambda_{2} }=\frac{3\times 10^{8}}{4047\times 10^{-10}}=7.412\times 10^{14}\ Hz

\nu_{3}=\frac{c}{\lambda_{3} }=\frac{3\times 10^{8}}{4358\times 10^{-10}}=6.884\times 10^{14}\ Hz

\nu_{4}=\frac{c}{\lambda_{4} }=\frac{3\times 10^{8}}{5461\times 10^{-10}}=5.493\times 10^{14}\ Hz

\nu_{5}=\frac{c}{\lambda_{5} }=\frac{3\times 10^{8}}{6907\times 10^{-10}}=4.343\times 10^{14}\ Hz

V _0_1=1.28\hspace{1mm}V,V _0_2=0.95\hspace{1mm}V,V _0_3=0.74\hspace{1mm}V, V_0_4=0.16\hspace{1mm}V,V _0_5=0\hspace{1mm}V.

The plot we get is

1646200511071

From the above figure, we can see that the curve is almost a straight line.


The slope of the above graph will give the Plank's constant divided by the electronic charge. Planks constant calculated from the above chart is

\\h=\frac{\left ( 1.28-0.16 \right )\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{(8.214-5.493)\times 10^{14}}\\ h=6.573\times 10^{-34}\ Js

Planks constant calculated from the above chart is therefore 6.573\times 10^{-34}\ Js

Q: 11.29 The work function for the following metals is given: Na:2.75\hspace{1mm}eV,K:2.30\hspace{1mm}eV,Mo:4.17\hspace{1mm}eV,Ni:5.15\hspace{1mm}eV.

Which of these metals will not give photoelectric emission for a radiation of wavelength 3300\hspace{1mm}\dot{A} from a He-Cd laser placed 1\hspace{1mm}m away from the photocell? What happens if the laser is brought nearer and placed 50\hspace{1mm}cm away?

Answer:

The wavelength of the incident photons= 3300\dot{A}

The energy of the incident photons is

\\E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }\\ E=\frac{6.62\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{3300\times 10^{-10}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}\\ E=3.16 eV

Mo and Ni will not give photoelectric emission for radiation of wavelength 3300\hspace{1mm}\dot{A} from a He-Cd .

If the laser is brought nearer no change will be there in case of Mo and Ni although there will be more photoelectrons in case of Na and K.

Q: 11.30 Light of intensity 10^-^5\hspace{1mm}Wm^-^2 falls on a sodium photo-cell of surface area 2\hspace{1mm}cm^2 . Assuming that the top 5 layers of sodium absorb the incident energy, estimate time required for photoelectric emission in the wave-picture of radiation. The work function for the metal is given to be about 2\hspace{1mm}eV . What is the implication of your answer? (Effective atomic area of a sodium atom = 10 -20 m 2 )

Answer:

Intensity of Incident light(I) = 10^-^5\hspace{1mm}Wm^-^2

The surface area of the sodium photocell (A)=2 cm 2 = 2 \times 10 -4 m 2

The rate at which energy falls on the photo cell=IA=2 \times 10 - 9 W

The rate at which each of the 5 surfaces absorbs energy= IA/5=4 \times 10 -10 W

Effective atomic area of a sodium atom (A')= 10 -20 m 2

The rate at which each sodium atom absorbs energy is R given by

\\R=\frac{IA}{5}\times \frac{A'}{A}\\ R=\frac{10^{-5}\times 10^{-20}}{5}\\ R=2\times 10^{-26}J/s

The time required for photoelectric emission is

\\t=\frac{\phi _{0}}{R}\\ t=\frac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{2\times 10^{-26}}\\ t=1.6\times 10^{7}s\\ t\approx 0.507 \ years

Q: 11.31 Crystal diffraction experiments can be performed using X-rays, or electrons accelerated through appropriate voltage. Which probe has greater energy? (For quantitative comparison, take the wavelength of the probe equal to 1\hspace{1mm}\dot{A}, which is of the order of inter-atomic spacing in the lattice) (m_e=9.11\times 10^-^3^1\hspace{1mm}kg).

Answer:

According to De Broglie's equation

p=\frac{h}{\lambda }

The kinetic energy of an electron with De Broglie wavelength 1\hspace{1mm}\dot{A} is given by

\\K=\frac{p^{2}}{2m_{e}}\\ K=\frac{h^{2}}{\lambda ^{2}2m_{e}} \\K=\frac{(6.62\times 10^{-34})^{2}}{2\times 10^{-20}\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}\\ K=149.375\ eV

The kinetic energy of photon having wavelength 1\hspace{1mm}\dot{A} is

\\E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }\\ E=\frac{6.62\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{10^{-10}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}\\ E=12.375keV

Therefore for the given wavelength, a photon has much higher energy than an electron.

Q:11.32 (a) Obtain the de Broglie wavelength of a neutron of kinetic energy 150\hspace{1mm}eV . As you have seen in Exercise 11.31, an electron beam of this energy is suitable for crystal diffraction experiments. Would a neutron beam of the same energy be equally suitable? Explain.(m_e=9.11\times 10^-^3^1\hspace{1mm}kg).

Answer:

Kinetic energy of the neutron(K)=150eV

De Broglie wavelength associated with the neutron is

\\\lambda =\frac{h}{p}\\ \lambda =\frac{h}{\sqrt{2m_{N}K }}\\ \lambda =\frac{6.62\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 1.675\times 10^{-27}\times 150\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}}\\ \lambda =2.327\times 10^{-12}m

Since an electron beam with the same energy has a wavelength much larger than the above-calculated wavelength of the neutron, a neutron beam of this energy is not suitable for crystal diffraction as the wavelength of the neutron is not of the order of the dimension of interatomic spacing.

Q: 11.32 (b) Obtain the de Broglie wavelength associated with thermal neutrons at room temperature (27\hspace{1mm}^{\circ}C ) . Hence explain why a fast neutron beam needs to be thermalised with the environment before it can be used for neutron diffraction experiments.

Answer:

Absolute temperature = 273+27=300K

Boltzmann's Constant=1.38 \times 10 -23 J/mol/K

The de Broglie wavelength associated with the neutron is

\\\lambda =\frac{h}{p}\\ \lambda =\frac{h}{\sqrt{2m_{N}K}} \\\lambda =\frac{h}{\sqrt{3kT}}\\ \lambda =\frac{6.62\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{3\times 1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 300}}\\ \lambda =1.446 \dot{A}

Since this wavelength is comparable to the order of interatomic spacing of a crystal it can be used for diffraction experiments. The neutron beam is to be thermalised so that its de Broglie wavelength attains a value such that it becomes suitable for the crystal diffraction experiments.

Q:11.33 An electron microscope uses electrons accelerated by a voltage of 50\hspace{1mm}kV . Determine the de Broglie wavelength associated with the electrons. If other factors (such as numerical aperture, etc.) are taken to be roughly the same, how does the resolving power of an electron microscope compare with that of an optical microscope which uses yellow light?

Answer:

The potential difference through which electrons are accelerated(V)=50kV.

Kinetic energy(K) of the electrons would be eV where e is the electronic charge

The De Broglie wavelength associated with the electrons is

\\\lambda =\frac{h}{\sqrt{2m_{e}K}}\\ \lambda =\frac{6.62\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 50000}}\\ \lambda =5.467\times 10^{-12} m

The wavelength of yellow light = 5.9 \times 10 -7 m

The calculated De Broglie wavelength of the electron microscope is about 10 5 more than that of yellow light and since resolving power is inversely proportional to the wavelength the resolving power of electron microscope is roughly 10 5 times than that of an optical microscope.

Q: 11.34 The wavelength of a probe is roughly a measure of the size of a structure that it can probe in some detail. The quark structure of protons and neutrons appears at the minute length-scale of 10-15m or less. This structure was first probed in early 1970’s using high energy electron beams produced by a linear accelerator at Stanford, USA. Guess what might have been the order of energy of these electron beams.

(Rest mass energy of electron =0.511\hspace{1mm}MeV .)

Answer:

Rest mass of the electron

=mc^2=0.511MeV

Momentum

P=\frac{h}{\lambda}

=\frac{6.63\times ^{-34}}{10^{-15}}

using the relativistic formula for energy

E^2=(CP)^2+(mc^2)^2

=(3\times10^8 \times 6.63\times 10^{-19})^2+(0.511\times1.6\times10^{-19})^2

\approx 1.98\times10^{-10} J

Q: 11.35 Find the typical de Broglie wavelength associated with a He atom in helium gas at room temperature ( 27\hspace{1mm}^{\circ}C ) and 1 atm pressure, and compare it with the mean separation between two atoms under these conditions.

Answer:

The kinetic energy K of a He atom is given by

K=\frac{3}{2}kT

m He i.e. mass of one atom of He can be calculated as follows

\\m_{He}=\frac{4\times 10^{-3}}{N_{A}}\\ =\frac{4\times 10^{-3}}{6.023\times 10^{23}}\\ m_{He}=6.64\times 10^{-27}\ kg (N A is the Avogadro's Number)

De Broglie wavelength is given by

\\\lambda =\frac{h}{p}\\ \lambda =\frac{h}{\sqrt{2m_{He}K}}\\ \lambda =\frac{h}{\sqrt{3m_{He}kT}}\\ \lambda =\frac{6.62\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{3\times 6.64\times 10^{-27}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 300}}\\ \lambda =7.27\times 10^{-11}\ m

The mean separation between two atoms is given by the relation

\\d=\left ( \frac{V}{N} \right )^{\frac{1}{3}}\\

From the ideal gas equation we have

\\PV=nRT\\ PV=\frac{NRT}{N_{A}}\\ \frac{V}{N}=\frac{RT}{PN_{A}}

The mean separation is therefore

\\d=\left ( \frac{RT}{PN_{A}} \right )^{\frac{1}{3}}\\ d=\left ( \frac{kT}{P} \right )^{\frac{1}{3}}\\ d=\left ( \frac{1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 300}{1.01\times 10^{5}} \right )^{\frac{1}{3}}\\ d=3.35\times 10^{-9}\ m

The mean separation is greater than the de Broglie wavelength.

Q: 11.36 Compute the typical de Broglie wavelength of an electron in a metal at 27\hspace{1mm}^{\circ}C and compare it with the mean separation between two electrons in a metal which is given to be about 2*10-10m.

Answer:

The de Broglie wavelength associated with the electrons is

\\\lambda =\frac{h}{\sqrt{3m_{e}kT}}\\ \lambda =\frac{6.62\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{3\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 300}}\\ \lambda =6.2\times 10^{-9}\ nm

The de Broglie wavelength of the electrons is comparable to the mean separation between two electrons.

Answer the following questions:

Q: 11.37 (a ) Quarks inside protons and neutrons are thought to carry fractional charges \dpi{100} [(+2/3)e;(-1/3)e] . Why do they not show up in Millikan’s oil-drop experiment?

Answer:

Quarks are thought to be tight within a proton or neutron by forces which grow tough if one tries to pull them apart. That is event though fractional charges may exist in nature, the observable charges are still integral multiples of the charge of the electron

Answer the following questions:

Q: 11.37 (b) What is so special about the combination e/m ? Why do we not simply talk of e and m separately?

Answer:

The speed of a charged particle is given by the relations

v=\sqrt{2K\left ( \frac{e}{m} \right )}

or

v=Br\left ( \frac{e}{m} \right )

As we can see the speed depends on the ratio e/m it is of such huge importance.

Answer the following questions:

Q: 11.37 (c) Why should gases be insulators at ordinary pressures and start conducting at very low pressures?

Answer:

At ordinary pressure due to a large number of collisions among themselves, the gases have no chance of reaching the electrodes while at very low pressure these collisions decrease exponentially and the gas molecules have a chance of reaching the respective electrodes and therefore are capable of conducting electricity.

Answer the following questions:

Q: 11.37 (d) Every metal has a definite work function. Why do all photoelectrons not come out with the same energy if incident radiation is monochromatic? Why is there an energy distribution of photoelectrons?

Answer:

The work function is defined as the minimum energy below which an electron will never be ejected from the metal. But when photons with high energy are incident it is possible that electrons from different orbits get ejected and would, therefore, come out of the atom with different kinetic energies.

Answer the following questions:

Q : 11.37 (e) The energy and momentum of an electron are related to the frequency and wavelength of the associated matter wave by the relations:
E=hv,p=\frac{h}{\lambda }
But while the value of \lambda is physically significant, the value of v (and therefore, the value of the phase speed v \lambda ) has no physical significance. Why?

Answer:

The absolute energy has no significance because of the reference point being arbitrary and thus the inclusion of an arbitrary constant rendering the value of \nu\lambda and . \nu to have no physical significance as such.

The group speed is defined as

V_{G}=\frac{h}{\lambda m}

Due to the significance of the group speed the absolute value of wavelength has physical significance.
