Quantum, Atomic and Nuclear Physics – Flashcards
question
ATOMIC AND NUCLEAR PHYSICS
answer
I love this class so much. It's completely relevant and helpful for my future medical career.
question
Leucippus and Democritus
answer
developed the first concept of the atomic structure of matter -- "all natural bodies consist of infinitely small particles that completely fill the volumes of the bodies/are not further divisible" = ATOMS
question
How were the existence of atoms verified?
answer
By indirect chemistry methods! -- chemists determined the mass ratios of the reactants + reaction products for reactions -- the mass ratios for the same reaction were always the same but different for other reactions
question
When was quantitative information about the atom (size/charge distribution) discovered?
answer
20th century
question
When was quantum theory developed?
answer
1930s
question
black body radiation? thermal radiation?
answer
black body radiation: EM emitted by a black body thermal radiation: CONTINOUS distribution of wavelengths from all portions of the EM spectrum
question
Wien's Displacement Law
answer
-- as temperature increases, wavelength peaks shift to shorter wavelengths basically, -- intensity + amount of radiation emitted increases as temperature increases -- peak wavelength decreases as temperature increases
question
Ultraviolet Catastrophe
answer
in the classical theory of blackbody radiation, the intensity shows to be at infinity with shorter wavelengths; however, experimental results show a giant drop in intensity with shorter wavelengths
question
Who developed an equation that "fixed" the ultraviolet catastrophe and and was in agreement with the experimental results of wavelength vs intensity?
answer
the muthafukin' OG, Planck
question
Planks two assumptions regarding blackbody radiation?
answer
1. blackbody of EM radiation is emitted in SPECIFIC QUANTA (energy is quantized!) En = nfh 2. the oscillators emit or absorb energy when moving between quantum states -- energy carried by the quantum of radiation is... E = hf
question
How can quantum energy levels transition?
answer
One at a time mofo; can't jump from 2-5 .. gotta do 2-3-4-5
question
Why is intensity of blackbody radiation low at short wavelengths?
answer
giant gap in energy levels; low probability of transition
question
Why is intensity of blackbody radiation low at long wavelengths?
answer
small difference between energy levels; many downward movements because of the LOW energy of transitions
question
How did the concept of photons come about?
answer
Einstein rederived Planck's quantum work to create the concept
question
Photoelectric effect
answer
the 2nd unexplainable phenomena - occurs when light incident on certain metallic surfaces causes e- to be emitted from those surfaces
question
the emitted e- from the photoelectric effect are PHOTOELECTRONS
answer
when light is incident on the metal surfaces, a current is detected from the "emitted plate" to the "collector" in the dark, there is no current
question
How are voltage values related to the current?
answer
- at large voltage values, current reaches a maximum - maximum current increases as intensity of light increases - when voltage is less the the stopping potential (delta Vs), current = 0
question
Stopping potential
answer
depends on kinetic E defined as: potential E necessary to stop any e- from reaching the "collector"
question
What do we know about the dependence of photoelectron kinetic E on light intensity?
answer
it is NOT dependent on light intensity it IS dependent on stopping potential, frequency and work function
question
What do we know about the dependence of ejection of e- on light frequency?
answer
it is dependent on a certain cutoff frequency -- no e- are ejected below this frequency regardless of intensity
question
What do we know about the dependence of photoelectron kinetic E on light frequency?
answer
max kinetic energy of the photoelectrons increases with increasing light frequency
question
Einstein extended Planck's concept of quantization to EM waves. What did he conclude?
answer
All EM radiation can be considered a stream of quanta = PHOTONS
question
Work function
answer
minimum E with which an e- is bound in the metal - metals have higher work function (PHI) then nonmetals Kmax = hf - PHI (work function) - photon must have more energy than work function in order to eject an e-
question
How is cutoff frequency and cutoff wavelength related?
answer
at wavelengths greater than the cutoff wavelength, there is no emission of photoelectrons cutoff wavelength = hc/ PHI *** application: burglar alarm systems
question
Why was classical wave theory shit?
answer
it failed to explain the SCATTERING of x-rays from e-
question
let's talk a bit about the Compton Effect
answer
according to classical predictions, EM waves incident on an e- should cause it to accelerate in an oscillating motion (many FREQUENCIES) ... well that's WRONG what actually happens: only one frequency is observed meaning that the e- moves in a straight line (particle like!) hence, the scattering of these e- (scattered radiation form he photon-electron collision) : COMPTON EFFECT
question
Compton shift equation
answer
-- at different angles, scattered x-rays peak at different points (shifts) -- caused by SCATTERING OF E- !!! wavelength (final) - wavelength (initial) =[h/Me * c](1-cos(theta)) Me = mass of electron
question
So, is light a wave or a particle?
answer
bahahahaha, it's both! the photon and wave models complement each other <3
question
the quantum particle:
answer
-- new model that is the result of the recognition of the dual nature of both light and material particles -- entities have both particle and wave characteristics
question
Ideal wave
answer
single frequency and is infinitely long (UNLOCALIZED in space)
question
Ideal particle
answer
has zero size (is LOCALIZED in space)
question
What's the deal with particles as wave packets?
answer
concept: multiple waves can be superimposed so that at x=0 there is constructive interference - at any other point, interference is destructive -- small region of constructive interference constitutes a WAVE PACKET --> identified as a PARTICLE
question
Double-slit experiment
answer
showed that light acts as a particle and a wave 1. e- are detected as particles at a localized spot at some instant of time 2. probability of arrival at that spot is determined by finding the intensity of 2 interfering waves
question
Uncertainty principle
answer
impossible to make simultaneous measurements of a particle's position and momentum with infinite accurary
question
Emission Spectroscopy
answer
"all objects emit thermal radiation characterized by a continuous distribution of wavelengths" basically, when an electron on an atom gives off energy by going down an energy level, it will emit a certain color each atom has a unique emission spectrum and this technique can be used to identify elements in unknown compounds
question
Absorption Spectroscopy
answer
when an electron absorbs energy by going up an energy level, it will absorb the light/colors that it emits when going down an energy level
question
"shorter wavelengths are higher E (purple)"
answer
"longer wavelengths are lower E (red)"
question
Thompson's model of the atom
answer
"plum pudding model" - e- embedded in a positive volume - *** discovered the e-
question
Rutherford's model of the atom
answer
"thin foil experiment" - proved there was a positive nucleus - thought that e- spin in circles with centripetal acceleration until they disappear into the nucleus
question
Bohr's model of the atom
answer
- applied Planck's ideas of quantized energy levels to Rutherford's orbiting e-
question
Bohr's postulates
answer
1. e- orbit around nucleus like planets in a solar system 2. only certain e- orbitals are stable (e- no not continuously emit energy/do not spiral into the nucleus) 3. radiation is emitted when e- moves to a lower E state and vice versa for absorbed radiation 4. size of allowed e- orbit depends on angular momentum -- radii of allowed orbits have discrete values (QUANTIZED)
question
What is the lowest energy level of an atom?
answer
ground state; n=1 ; Bohr's radius *** ** as n increases, energy increases and becomes less negative **
question
Uppermost atomic energy level?
answer
n = infinity; E = 0 ** beyond this point, e- gets ionized meaning that it "jumps" off the atom
question
Atomic number?
answer
Z; # of protons in a nucleus
question
What were some difficulties with the Bohr model?
answer
- it cannot account for the spectra of more complex atoms - scattering experiments showed that the e- in an atom does not move in flat circles; they move in spheres (3D)
question
What are the 4 quantum numbers/states?
answer
(n) principle quantum number (l) orbital quantum number (n-1) (ml) magnetic quantum number (2l+1) (ms) spin quantum number (+.5 or -.5)
question
What are shells and subshells?
answer
- states having same n form SHELLS - states having same n and l form SUBSHELLS
question
Zeeman effect
answer
spectral lines splitting up under an external magnetic field (n --> ml numbers)
question
Wave function
answer
probability of finding an e- as a function of distance from the nucleus
question
Electron clouds
answer
area around nucleus of an atom where e- are most likely to be found (darkest around the nucleus -- means more e- are probably going to be found there)
question
Pauli Exclusion Principle
answer
- no two e- can ever in the same quantum state; no 2 e- in the same atom can have the same set of quantum numbers - only 2 e- can be present in any orbital (one with spin up and spin down)
question
Hund's Rule
answer
- max number of e- are unpaired when placing them
question
What are x-rays?
answer
they are the result of the slowing down of high energy e- as they strike the metal target
question
Stimulated Absorption
answer
- when a photon has energy equal to the difference in energy levels, it cab be absorbed by the atom - absorption of photon causes some of the atoms to be raised to exited states
question
Spontaneous Emission
answer
excited atom falls to ground state (lower E level)
question
Stimulated Emission
answer
when excited state is a metastable state (aka, lifetime is much longer than the typical 10e^-8 s) *incident photon causes e- to go to ground state whiteout being absorbed
question
L.A.S.E.R.
answer
"light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation"
question
What is a nucleus composed of?
answer
protons and neutrons
question
A = Z + N is what?
answer
A = mass number Z = number of protons N = number of neutrons
question
Mass number DOES NOT equal atomic number
answer
ya dig?
question
Isotope
answer
"elements that have same Z but different N and A values" - different number of neutrons
question
Size of the nucleus...
answer
Was discovered by Rutherford; he used the isolated energy system to find "d" d = distance of closest approach (two positive charges coming together) radius of nucleus = 10e^-14 m
question
Fermi
answer
(fm); about 10e^-15 m
question
Average radius of nucleus equation
answer
r = aA^1/3 a = constant; 1.25e^-15 A = mass number
question
Why don't the large repulsive electrostatic forces between proteins cause the nucleus to fly apart?
answer
because of nuclear force -- attractive force between all nuclear particles
question
When are light nuclei most stable? Heavy nuclei?
answer
for light nuclei, when N=Z for heavy nuclei, when N>Z N = neutron number Z = atomic umber *** as the number of protons increases, the coloumb repulsive force increases so more neutrons are needed to keep the nucleus stable
question
Binding Energy
answer
difference of total energy of the bound system (the full nucleus) and the combined E of the separated nucleons (it is less) -- amount of E you need to add to break up the nucleus EQUATION: Eb = [ZM(H) + Nmn - M (azX)] x 931.49 MeV/u M(H) = mass of neutral H atom M (azX) = mass of an atom of its isotope mn = mass of neutron
question
Why is E released when a heavy nucleus splits of FISSIONS?
answer
... because nucleons in product nucleus are more tightly bound then in original nucleus
question
Nuclear models
answer
1. liquid drop model 2. shell model
question
Shell Model
answer
"proton E level are further apart than those for neutrons due to the superposition of the Coulomb force and the nuclear force for the protons" -- nuclei with even number of protons and neutrons are most stable -- nuclei tend to have more neutrons than protons (proton energy levels are higher so adding more neutrons than protons is more energetically favorable"
question
Radioactivity
answer
"spontaneous emission of radiation" --> result of the decay/disintegration of unstable nuclei
question
Three types of decay
answer
1. alpha (neutron rich) - can be stopped by a thick piece of paper 2. beta (proton rich) - can pass through a foil of lead or a plate of aluminum 3. gamma (very proton rich) - high E photons, can pass through a thick wall of concrete
question
Alpha Decay
answer
" nucleus loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons" - daughter nucleus has two less neutrons and protons - alpha particle is Helium! (has 2 protons and 2 neutrons)
question
Alpha decay is SPONTANEOUS DECAY what does this mean?
answer
= the nucleus of one element changes with then nucleus of another *** total number of protons and neutrons is unchanged in this fission
question
Disintegration Energy (the Q value)
answer
Q = (Mx - My - Malpha) c^2 Mx = mass of original nucleus My = mass of daughter nucleus Malpha = mass of alpha particle c= speed of light
question
Radioactive series
answer
often, daughter nucleus is unstable and decays as well --> and so on, so forth *** stops when it reaches a stable isotope
question
Application of alpha decay -- SMOKE DETECTOR
answer
-- components: ionization chamber, sensitive current detector, alarm 1. a weak radioactive source ionizes the air in the chamber of the detector, creating charged particles 2. voltage is painted between the plates inside the chamber 3. if smoke drifts into the chamber, the ions become attached to the smoke particles 4. this causes a decrease int eh detector current, setting off the alarm
question
Beta Decay
answer
"daughter nucleus has the same number of nucleons (atomic mass) as the parent, but the atomic number is changed by 1" basically, beta decay occur when, in a nucleus with too many protons or neutrons, one of the protons or neutrons is transmitted into the other ** will sooner or later produce gamma rays **
question
Beta Minus Decay
answer
neutron decays into a proton, an e- and an antineutrino (add to Z)
question
Beta Plus Decay
answer
proton decays into neutron, a positron (e+) and a neutrino (subtract from Z)
question
4 fundamental forces
answer
gravitational, electromagnetic, strong force, weak force
question
Gamma Decay
answer
"occurs when an excited nucleus emits a high E photon" -- only thing that changes is nucleus' E state, goes to a lower one -- usually alpha or beta decay precedes gamma emission because they result in an excited state
question
3 natural occurring radioactive elements?
answer
uranium, actinium, thorium
question
The Decay Constant
answer
lambda (decay constant) = 0.693/T1/2 T1/2 = time at half life
question
The Decay Rate
answer
R = R naught * e^lambda t R naught = decay rate at t=0 lambda = decay constant
question
Half Life Equation
answer
N = N naught * (1/2)^n N = undecayed radioactive nuclei remaning n = number of half lives
