Subtract the mass of the atom from the total mass of the individual particles and convert from atomic mass units to eV. The result is the binding energy of the atom. (We speak of the proton and electron in the atom as still being individual particles, but they are actually not. They form a quantum state that differs from the individual particles.)

Some atomic processes can result in the emission of an electron from the atom. Electrons emitted in this way can have discrete values of kinetic energy, which depend on the atomic energy levels. The probability that the electron has a particular value depends on interacions within the atom. Suppose a particular atomic process results in three values of the electron kinetic energy: Ψ1 has Ee = 10 eV, with probability 0.2. Ψ2 has Ee = 16 eV, with probability 0.3....

Question 1 In this question we undertake the Hydrogen Atom Model, developed in 1913 by Niels Bohr. a) Write the electric force reigning between the proton and the electron, in the hydrogen atom, in CGS system. Then equate this force, with the force expressed in terms of mass and acceleration, to come up with Bohr's equation of motion. Suppose that the electron orbit, around the proton, is circular. Use the following symbols, throughout. e: proton's or electron's charge intensity(4.8x 10-8...

In Bohr's model for the Hydrogen atom, the electron when it is at the third level rotates in a circular orbit around the proton, at a radius of 4.7 x 10^-10 m. The proton has a positive electric charge of 1.6 x10^-19 C, while the electron has the same charge with an opposite sign. The electrical force between the two particles is responsible for the centripetal force that keeps the electron in its orbit. The mass of the proton is...

One of the many fundamental particles in nature is the muon mu. This particle acts very much like a "heavy electron." It has a mass of 106 MeV/c^2, compared to the electron's mass of just 0.511 MeV/c^2. (We are using E = mc^2 to obtain the mass in units of energy and the speed of light c). Unlike the electron, though, the muon has a finite lifetime, after which it decays into an electron and two very light particles called...
