AChem Bohr/Planck WS- extra practice calculations

  • Find the energy in a quantum of light that has a frequency of 1.7E14Hz
    • Energy= 1.1E-19J
  • Find the wavelength of a photon of light with energy 2.04eV in meters (1eV= 1.6E-19J)
    • HINT: must convert eV (USING DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS) –> Joules, than can solve use E=hc/w
    • Wavelength= 6.10E-7m
  • An electron in n=1 in an atom of hydrogen jumps to the n=3 state. What energy in eV is needed to make the transition? ADDED: calculation wavelength and frequency
    • Change in E= 1.93E-18J, –> convert using DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS –> eV= 12.1eV;
    • Wavelength = 1.03E-7m
    • Frequency= 2.91E15Hz
  • An electron in an excited hydrogen atom falls from n=5 to n=4. Find the wavelength in meters and frequency of the light produced.
    • HINT: Must calculate E first (E=4.88E-20J), then plug into E=hc/w
    • Wavelength = 4.07E-6m
    • Frequency = 7.37E13Hz

Questions:

  • Topic 1: What are the four fundamental forces of nature? What distance/scale do each of the forces work on? Explain what each of them are, and how they compare in strength. What does each force help “keep together”?
  • Topic 2: Draw and explain the band of stability. What neutron to proton ratio do small atoms prefer? How does this change as atoms get larger? Why does the band of stability end?
  • Topic 3: Define radioactivity and radioisotopes. Who discovered radioactivity? Describe the three different types of nuclear radiation. How do they change an atom? Which of the four fundamental forces is overcome during each type of radiation?
  •  Topic 4: Define radioactive decay. Why is it called “decay”? Identify and describe the three different types of radioactive decay. Why does decay occur and how does each type change an atom?
