6.A: Photons and Matter Waves (Answer)

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Check Your Understanding

6.1. Bunsen’s burner

6.2. The wavelength of the radiation maximum decreases with increasing temperature.

6.3. T_α/T_β=1/\sqrt{3}≅0.58, so the star β is hotter.

6.4. 3.3×10^{−19}J

6.5. No, because then ΔE/E≈10^{−21}

6.6. −0.91 V; 1040 nm

6.7. h=6.40×10^{−34}J⋅s=4.0×10^{−15}eV⋅s;−3.5%

6.8. (Δλ)_{min}=0m at a angle; 71.0pm+0.5λ_c=72.215pm

6.9. 121.5 nm and 91.1 nm; no, these spectral bands are in the ultraviolet

6.10. v_2=1.1×10^6m/s≅0.0036c; L_2=2ℏK_2=3.4eV

6.11. 1.7 pm

6.12. λ=2πna_0=2(3.324Å)=6.648Å

6.13. λ=1.417pm; K=261.56keV

6.14. 0.052°

6.15. doubles it
