    Max Energy of Electron After Collision with Particle: 5.0 MeV Alpha

    Homework Statement A particle (nonrelativistic) of mass M and with kinetic energy E0 collides with an electron at rest of mass m. Show from elementary considerations (i.e. rst year physics) that the maximum energy of the electron after the collision is E0(4m/M). Determine this energy for...

    What is the spin and parity of the nucleus 15N in the shell model?

    Hi all, Homework Statement In this question consider the nucleus 15N (The 15 is the atomic mass, so superscript top left of N), and refer to the shell model diagram. (a) Predict the ground state spin and parity, Jpi. (b) Write out the relevant odd particle configuration in the form: p (or n)...

    Uncertainty in the position of a particle, and momentum question

    Hi all, I just can't wrap my head around this one. It should be fairly easy, but I'm lost! Homework Statement Suppose that the uncertainty in the position of a particle is of the order of its de Broglie wavelength. Show that in this case the uncertainty in its momentum is of the order...
