Chapt28, Problem-6: In a Rutherford scattering experiment, an !-particle (charge = +2e) heads
directly toward a gold nucleus (charge = +79e). The !-particle has a kinetic energy of 5.0 MeV when very far
(r " !) from the nucleus. Assuming the gold nucleus to be fixed in space, determine the distance of closest
approach.
(Hint: Use conservation of energy with r
qqkPE e 21= .)
Solut ion:
Assuming a head-on collision, the a-particle comes to rest momentarily at the point of closest approach. Let
this point be the ‘final’ point. From conservation of energy,
KEf +PE f = KEi +PEi , or
0+ke 2 e( ) 79e( )
rf
= KEi +ke 2 e( ) 79e( )
ri
With ri !" , then the right-most term is zero, hence we can rearrange the resulting expression to gives the
distance of closest approach:

For small n, significant differences between classical and quantum results appear. However, as n becomes
large, classical theory and quantum theory approach one another in their results. (correspondence principle)

Solut ion:
(a) For n = 1, l = 0 and there are 2 (2l +1) states = 2(1)=
2 sets of quantum numbers
(b) For n = 2, l = 0 for 2 (2l +1) states = 2(0+ 1)= 2 sets

Chapt28, Conceptual-1: In the hydrogen atom, the quantum number n can increase without limit.
Because of this, does the frequency of possible spectral lines from hydrogen also increase without limit?
Solut ion:
The energy of the atom is inversely proportional to n2. Thus, as n grows to infinity, the energy ofthe atom approaches a value that is above the ground state by a finite amount, namely the ionizationenergy 13.6eV. As the electron falls from one bound state to another, its enrgy loss is always lessthan the ionization energy. The energy and frequency of the meitted photon are finite.
Chapt28, Conceptual-2: Does the light emitted by a neon sign constitute a continuous spectrum or
only a few colors? Defend your answer.
Solut ion:
Neon signs do not emit a continuous spectrum. They emit many discrete wavelengths as could bedetermined by observing the light from the sign through a spectrometer (in fact ‘mysterium’ wasNeonn for some of you in Expt#8) However, they do not emit all wavelengths. The specificwavelengths and intensities account for the color of the sign.
Chapt28, Conceptual-3: In an X-ray tube, if the energy with which the lectrons strike the metal
target is increased, the wavelength of the characteristic X-rays do not change. Why?
Solut ion:
The characteristic X-rays originate from transitions within the atom of the target, such as an L-shell electron making a transition to a vacancy in the K-shell. This vacancy in the K-shell is causedwhen an accelerated electron in the X-ray tube supplies energy the the K-shell electron to eject itfrom the atom. If the energy of the bombarding electron were to be increased, the K-shell electronwould be ejected with more kinetic energy. But the energy difference between the K- and L-shellshas not changed, so the emitted X-ray has exactly the same wavelength.
Chapt28, Conceptual-8: If matter has a wave nature, why is this not observable in our dailyexperience?
Solut ion:
The de Broglie wavelength of macroscopic objects such as a baseball moving with a typical speedsuch as 30 m/s is very small and impossible to measure. That is,
! = h mv , is a very small number for
macroscopic objects. We are not able to observe diffraction effects because the wavelength ismuch smaller than any aperture through which the object could pass.

Chapt28, Conceptual-14: The ionization energies for Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs are 5.390, 5.138,
4.339, 4,.176, and 3.893 eV respectively. Explain why this patter of decrease should be expected in terms ofthe atomic structure.
Solut ion:
Each of the given atoms has a single electron in an l = 0 or s( ) state outside a fully closed-shell core,
shielded from all but one unit of the nuclear charge. Since they reside in very similar environments,one would expect these outer electrons to have nearly the same electrical potential energies andhence nearly the same ionization energies. This is in agreement with the given data values. Also,since the distance of the outer electron from the nuclear charge should tend to increase with Z (toallow for greater numbers of electrons in the core), one would expect the ionization energy todecrease somewhat as atomic number increases. This is also in agreement with the given data.
