92 Questions for Chapter 40: All About Atoms

  1. An electron is in a state with n = 3. What are (a) the number of possible values of I, (b) the number of possible values of m1, (c) the number of possible values of ms, (d) the number of states in the n = 3 shell, and (e) the number of sub-shells in the n = 3shell?

  5. A magnetic field is applied to a freely floating uniform iron sphere with a radius R = 2.0 mm. The sphere initially had no net magnetic moment, but the field aligns 12% of the magnetic moments of the atoms (that is, 12% of the magnetic moments of the loosely bound electrons in the sphere, with one such electron per atom). The magnetic moment of those aligned electrons is the sphere’s intrinsic magnetic moment μ→s. What is the sphere’s resulting angular speed ?

  7. What is the acceleration of a silver atom as it passes through the deflecting magnet in the Stern–Gerlach experiment of Fig. 40-8 if the magnetic field gradient is 1.4 T/mm?

  8. Figure 40-21 shows partial energy-level diagrams for the helium and neon atoms that are involved in the operation of a helium–neon laser. It is said that a helium atom in stateE3 can collide with a neon atom in its ground state and raise the neon atom to state E2. The energy of helium state E3(20.61eV)is close to, but not exactly equal to, the energy of neon state role="math" localid="1661494292758" E2(20.66eV). How can the energy transfer take place if these energies are not exactly equal?

  9. Suppose that a hydrogen atom in its ground state moves 80 cm through and perpendicular to a vertical magnetic field that has a magnetic field gradientdBdz=1.6×102T . (a) What is the magnitude of force exerted by the field gradient on the atom due to the magnetic moment of the atom’s electron, which we take to be Bohr magnetron? (b) What is the vertical displacement of the atom in the 80cm of travel if its speed is 1.2×105m/s?
