  • When a phosphorus atom is substituted for a silicon atom in a crystal, four of the phosphorus valence electrons form bonds with neighboring atoms and the remaining electron is much more loosely bound. You can model the electron as free to move through the crystal lattice. The phosphorus nucleus has one more positive charge than does the silicon nucleus, however, so the extra electron provided by the phosphorus atom is attracted to this single nuclear charge +e.+e. The energy levels of the extra electron are similar to those of the electron in the Bohr hydrogen atom with two important exceptions. First, the Coulomb attraction between the electron and the positive charge on the phosphorus nucleus is reduced by a factor of 1/K/K from what it would be in free space (see Eq. 26.21 ), where κκ is the dielectric constant of the crystal. As a result, the orbit radii are greatly increased over those of the hydrogen atom. Second, the influence of the periodic electric potential of the lattice causes the electron to move as if it had an effective mass m∗,m∗, which is quite different from the mass meme of a free electron. You can use the Bohr as if it had an effective mass m∗,m∗, which is quite different from the mass meme of a free electron. You can use the Bohr important role in semiconductor devices.

    Under high resolution, many spectral lines are observed to be doublets. The most famous doublet is the pair of two yellow lines in the spectrum of sodium (the D lines), with wavelengths of 588.995 nm and 589.592 nm. Their existence was explained in 1925 by Goudsmit and Uhlenbeck,
    who postulated that an electron has intrinsic spin angular momentum. When the sodium atom is excited with its outermost electron in a 3p state, the orbital motion of the outermost electron creates a magnetic field. The atom’s energy is somewhat different depending on whether the
    electron is itself spin-up or spin-down in this field. Then the photon energy the atom radiates as it falls back into its ground state depends on the energy of the excited state. Calculate the magnitude of the internal magnetic field, mediating this so-called spin-orbit coupling.

The gun uses the Doppler shift of microwaves reflected from the baseball, an effect we will study in Chapter 39.

  • In the 1968 Olympic games, University of Oregon jumper Dick Fosbury introduced a new technique of high jumping called the “Fosbury flop.” It contributed to raising the world record by about 30 cm and is currently used by nearly every world-class jumper. In this technique, the jumper goes over the bar face up while arching her back as much as possible as shown in Figure P9.76a. This action places her center of mass outside her body, below her back. As her body goes over the bar, her center of mass passes below the bar. Because a given energy input implies a certain elevation for her center of mass, the action of arching her back means that her body is higher than if her back were straight. As a model, consider the jumper as a thin uniform rod of length L. When the rod is straight, its center of mass is at its center. Now bend the rod in a circular arc so that it subtends an angle of 90.08 at the center of the arc as shown in Figure P9.76b. In this configuration, how far outside the rod is the center of mass?

  • A house roof is a perfectly flat plane that makes an angle θθ with the horizontal. When its temperature changes, between TcTc before dawn each day and ThTh in the middle of each afternoon, the roof expands and contracts uniformly with a coefficient of thermal expansion α1α1 . Resting on the roof is a flat, rectangular metal plate with expansion coefficient α2,α2, greater than α1α1 . The length of the plate is L,L, measured along the slope of the roof. The component of the plate’s weight perpendicular to the roof is supported by a normal force uniformly distributed over the area of the plate. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the plate and the roof is μkμk . The plate is always at the same temperature as the roof, so we assume its temperature is continuously changing. Because of the difference in expansion coefficients, each bit of the plate is moving relative to the roof below it, except for points along a certain horizontal line running across the plate called the stationary line. If the temperature is rising, parts of the plate below the stationary line are moving down relative to the roof and feel a force of kinetic friction acting up the roof. Elements of area above the stationary line are sliding up the roof, and on them kinetic friction acts downward parallel to the roof. The stationary line occupies no area, so we assume no force of static friction acts on the plate while the temperature is changing. The plate as a whole is very nearly in equilibrium, so the net friction force on it must be equal to the component of its weight acting down the incline.

  • Problems 69 through 72 apply ideas from this and earlier chapters to some properties of superconductors, which were introduced in Section 27.5.
    A fundamental property of a type I superconducting material is perfect diamagnetism, or demonstration of the Meissner effect, illustrated in Figure 30.27 in Section 30.6 and described as follows. If a sample of superconducting material is placed into an externally produced magnetic field or is cooled to become superconducting while it in a magnetic field, electric currents appear on the surface of the sample. The currents have precisely the strength and orientation required to make the total magnetic field be
    zero throughout the interior of the sample. This problem will help you understand the magnetic force that can then act on the sample. Compare this problem with Problem 63 in Chapter 26 , pertaining to the force attracting a perfect dielectric into a strong electric field.

    energy density of the magnetic field. Now a superconducting bar 2.20 cmcm in diameter is inserted partway into the solenoid.

(d) The field of the solenoid exerts a force on the current in the superconductor. Explain how you determine the direction of the force on the bar. (e) Noting that the units J/m3J/m3 of energy density are the same as the units N/m2N/m2 of pressure, calculate the magnitude of the force by multiplying the energy density of the solenoid field times the area of the bottom end of the superconducting bar.

  • The creation and study of new and very massive elementary particles is an important part of contemporary physics. To create a particle of mass MM requires an energy Mc2Mc2 . With enough energy, an exotic particle can be created by allowing a fast-moving proton to collide with a similar target particle. Consider a perfectly inelastic collision between two protons: an incident proton with mass mp,mp, kinetic energy K,K, and momentum magnitude pp joins with an originally stationary target proton to form a single product particle of mass MM . Not all the kinetic energy of the incoming proton is available to create the product particle because conservation of momentum requires that the
    system as a whole still must have some kinetic energy after the collision. Therefore, only a fraction of the energy of the incident particle is available to create a new particle. (a) Show that the energy available to create a product particle is given by
    Mc2=2mρc2√1+K2mρc2Mc2=2mρc21+K2mρc2−−−−−−−−−√
    This result shows that when the kinetic energy KK of the incident proton is large compared with its rest energy mpc2mpc2 ,
    then MM approaches (2mpK)1/2/c(2mpK)1/2/c . Therefore, if the energy of the incoming proton is increased by a factor of 9,9, the mass you can create increases only by a factor of 3,3, not by a factor of 9 as would be expected. (b) This problem can be alleviated by using colliding beams as is the case in most modern accelerators. Here the total momentum of a pair of interacting particles can be zero. The center of mass can be at rest after the collision, so, in principle, all the initial kinetic energy can be used for particle creation. Show that
    Mc2=2mc2(1+Kmc2)Mc2=2mc2(1+Kmc2)
    where KK is the kinetic energy of each of the two identical colliding particles. Here, if K>>mc2,K>>mc2, we have MM directly proportional to KK as we would desire.

  • The most recent naked-eye supernova was Supernova Shelton 1987 AA (Fig. P46.53). It was 170000 ly away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. Approximately 3 h before its optical brightening was noticed, two neutrino detection experiments simultaneously registered the first neutrinos from an identified source other than the Sun. The Irvine-Michigan-Brookhaven experiment in a salt mine in Ohio registered eight neutrinos over a 6−6− s period, and the Kamiokande II experiment in a zinc mine in Japan counted eleven neutrinos in 13 s. (Because the supernova is far south in the sky, these neutrinos entered the detectors from below. They passed through the Earth before they were by chance absorbed by nuclei in the detectors.) The neutrino energies were between approximately 8 MeV and 40 MeV. If neutrinos have no mass, neutrinos of all energies should travel together at the speed of light, and the data are consistent with this possibility. The arrival times could vary simply because neutrinos were created at different moments as the core of the star collapsed into a neutron star. If neutrinos have nonzero mass, lower-energy neutrinos should move comparatively slowly. The data are consistent with a 10 -MeV neutrino requiring at most approximately 10 s more than a photon would require to travel from the supernova to us. Find the upper limit that this observation sets on the mass of a neutrino. (Other evidence sets an even tighter limit.)
