Short Answer

Classical physics is a good approximation to modern physics under certain circumstances. What are they?

Classical physics will be a good approximation for quantum physics, only for those systems that are composed of large number of particles.

Step by Step Solution

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Step 1:

Quantum physics explains different systems at the micro-level. It considers the motion of each and every fundamental particle, that forms the system. On the other hand, classical physics works on the macro level and considers a system made of a large number of particles as one.

Step 2:

Thus, If a system is made of a large number of particles, we can use classical physics, in place of quantum physics.

(a) A woman climbing the Washington Monument metabolizes \[6.00 \times {10^2}{\rm{ }}kJ\] of food energy. If her efficiency is \({\bf{18}}{\bf{.0\% }}\) , how much heat transfer occurs to the environment to keep her temperature constant? (b) Discuss the amount of heat transfer found in (a). Is it consistent with the fact that you quickly warm up when exercising?

The wavelength of the four Balmer series lines for hydrogen are found to be 410.3, 434.2, 486.3, and 656.5 nm. What average percentage difference is found between these wavelength numbers and those predicted by\[\frac{{\bf{1}}}{{\bf{\lambda }}}{\bf{ = R}}\left( {\frac{{\bf{1}}}{{{\bf{n}}_{\bf{f}}^{\bf{2}}}}{\bf{ - }}\frac{{\bf{1}}}{{{\bf{n}}_{\bf{i}}^{\bf{2}}}}} \right){\bf{?}}\]It is amazing how well a simple formula (disconnected originally from theory) could duplicate this phenomenon.

How much time is needed for a surgical cauterize to raise the temperature of \(1.00{\rm{ }}\;g\) of tissue from \(37.0^\circ C\) to \(100^\circ C\) and then boil away \(0.500{\rm{ }}g\) of water, if it puts out \(2.00\;{\rm{ }}mA\) at \(15.0{\rm{ }}kV\)? Ignore heat transfer to the surroundings.

What do the quark compositions and other quantum numbers imply about the relationships between the \[{{\rm{\Delta }}^{\rm{ + }}}\]and the proton? The \[{{\rm{\Delta }}^{\rm{0}}}\]and the neutron?
