three parts to this one, I can't seem to justify my values, units cancel, but the numbers don't seem right. I think I may have used a wrong equation for part B but I don't know what else to use.
Problem: An electron is confined to an infinitely deep potential well of width 0.120 nm.
a.)...
I figured it out, my book did not give me this equation for hydrogen-like atoms:
1/lambda = R*Z^2(1/n'^2 - 1/n^2) this gives me 0.97 nm
Thanks wikipedia!
I have been having trouble with this Balmer wavelength problem and was hoping I can get a little guidance.
The question: Find the balmer wavelength (n=3 --> n=2) emitted from a hydrogen-like Fe atom (z=26)
The answer is supposed to be 0.971 nm
My attempt:
1/lambda = R(1/n'^2 - 1/n2)...
Thank you for your your reassurance and help. And yes it is L' and not a delta L'. I got a bit carried away with deltas I suppose. And wow that last part was very simple, I feel pretty dumb now, I was trying to use a relativistic type equation.
So i got L' = 1.22 L . If I am right, that does...
Hello all,
I have an exam on Monday and am having trouble with this problem, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Q: A straight stick of length L' is at rest in the moving S' frame. The stick appears to have length L in the S frame. The S' frame is moving at a velocity √(2/3) c...
