  • Bohr Model of Hydrogen
    Chapter 3 Bohr model of hydrogen Figure 3.1: Democritus The atomic theory of matter has a long history, in some ways all the way back to the ancient Greeks (Democritus - ca. 400 BCE - suggested that all things are composed of indivisible \atoms"). From what we can observe, atoms have certain properties and behaviors, which can be summarized as follows: Atoms are small, with diameters on the order of 0:1 nm. Atoms are stable, they do not spontaneously break apart into smaller pieces or collapse. Atoms contain negatively charged electrons, but are electrically neutral. Atoms emit and absorb electromagnetic radiation. Any successful model of atoms must be capable of describing these observed properties. 1 (a) Isaac Newton (b) Joseph von Fraunhofer (c) Gustav Robert Kirch- hoff 3.1 Atomic spectra Even though the spectral nature of light is present in a rainbow, it was not until 1666 that Isaac Newton showed that white light from the sun is com- posed of a continuum of colors (frequencies). Newton introduced the term \spectrum" to describe this phenomenon. His method to measure the spec- trum of light consisted of a small aperture to define a point source of light, a lens to collimate this into a beam of light, a glass spectrum to disperse the colors and a screen on which to observe the resulting spectrum. This is indeed quite close to a modern spectrometer! Newton's analysis was the beginning of the science of spectroscopy (the study of the frequency distri- bution of light from different sources). The first observation of the discrete nature of emission and absorption from atomic systems was made by Joseph Fraunhofer in 1814.

    Solved Problems on the Particle Nature of Matter Charles Asman, Adam Monahan and Malcolm McMillan Department of Physics and Astronomy University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Fall 1999; revised 2011 by Malcolm McMillan Given here are solutions to 5 problems on the particle nature of matter. The solutions were used as a learning-tool for students in the introductory undergraduate course Physics 200 Relativity and Quanta given by Malcolm McMillan at UBC during the 1998 and 1999 Winter Sessions. The solutions were prepared in collaboration with Charles Asman and Adam Monaham who were graduate students in the Department of Physics at the time. The problems are from Chapter 3 The Particle Nature of Matter of the course text Modern Physics by Raymond A. Serway, Clement J. Moses and Curt A. Moyer, Saunders College Publishing, 2nd ed., (1997). Coulomb's Constant and the Elementary Charge When solving numerical problems on the particle nature of matter it is useful to note that the product of Coulomb's constant k = 8:9876 × 109 m2= C2 (1) and the square of the elementary charge e = 1:6022 × 10−19 C (2) is ke2 = 1:4400 eV nm = 1:4400 keV pm = 1:4400 MeV fm (3) where eV = 1:6022 × 10−19 J (4) Breakdown of the Rutherford Scattering Formula: Radius of a Nucleus Problem 3.9, page 39 It is observed that α particles with kinetic energies of 13.9 MeV or higher, incident on copper foils, do not obey Rutherford's (sin φ/2)−4 scattering formula. • Use this observation to estimate the radius of the nucleus of a copper atom.

    August12,2016 1:27 WSPCProceedings-9.75inx6.5in Antognini˙ICOLS˙3 page 1 1 Muonic atoms and the nuclear structure A. Antognini∗ for the CREMA collaboration Institute for Particle Physics, ETH, 8093 Zurich, Switzerland Laboratory for Particle Physics, Paul Scherrer Institute, 5232 Villigen-PSI, Switzerland ∗E-mail: [email protected] High-precision laser spectroscopy of atomic energy levels enables the measurement of nu- clear properties. Sensitivity to these properties is particularly enhanced in muonic atoms which are bound systems of a muon and a nucleus. Exemplary is the measurement of the proton charge radius from muonic hydrogen performed by the CREMA collaboration which resulted in an order of magnitude more precise charge radius as extracted from other methods but at a variance of 7 standard deviations. Here, we summarize the role of muonic atoms for the extraction of nuclear charge radii, we present the status of the so called “proton charge radius puzzle”, and we sketch how muonic atoms can be used to infer also the magnetic nuclear radii, demonstrating again an interesting interplay between atomic and particle/nuclear physics. Keywords: Proton radius; Muon; Laser spectroscopy, Muonic atoms; Charge and mag- netic radii; Hydrogen; Electron-proton scattering; Hyperfine splitting; Nuclear models. 1. What atomic physics can do for nuclear physics The theory of the energy levels for few electrons systems, which is based on bound- state QED, has an exceptional predictive power that can be systematically improved due to the perturbative nature of the theory itself [1, 2]. On the other side, laser spectroscopy yields spacing between energy levels in these atomic systems so pre- cisely, that even tiny effects related with the nuclear structure already influence several significant digits of these measurements.

  • Compton Wavelength, Bohr Radius, Balmer's Formula and G-Factors
    Compton wavelength, Bohr radius, Balmer's formula and g-factors Raji Heyrovska J. Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Dolejškova 3, 182 23 Prague 8, Czech Republic. [email protected] Abstract. The Balmer formula for the spectrum of atomic hydrogen is shown to be analogous to that in Compton effect and is written in terms of the difference between the absorbed and emitted wavelengths. The g-factors come into play when the atom is subjected to disturbances (like changes in the magnetic and electric fields), and the electron and proton get displaced from their fixed positions giving rise to Zeeman effect, Stark effect, etc. The Bohr radius (aB) of the ground state of a hydrogen atom, the ionization energy (EH) and the Compton wavelengths, λC,e (= h/mec = 2πre) and λC,p (= h/mpc = 2πrp) of the electron and proton respectively, (see [1] for an introduction and literature), are related by the following equations, 2 EH = (1/2)(hc/λH) = (1/2)(e /κ)/aB (1) 2 2 (λC,e + λC,p) = α2πaB = α λH = α /2RH (2) (λC,e + λC,p) = (λout - λin)C,e + (λout - λin)C,p (3) α = vω/c = (re + rp)/aB = 2πaB/λH (4) aB = (αλH/2π) = c(re + rp)/vω = c(τe + τp) = cτB (5) where λH is the wavelength of the ionizing radiation, κ = 4πεo, εo is 2 the electrical permittivity of vacuum, h (= 2πħ = e /2εoαc) is the 2 Planck constant, ħ (= e /κvω) is the angular momentum of spin, α (= vω/c) is the fine structure constant, vω is the velocity of spin [2], re ( = ħ/mec) and rp ( = ħ/mpc) are the radii of the electron and

  • Excitons in 3D and 2D Systems
    Excitons in 3D and 2D systems Electrons and holes in an excited semiconductor create a quasiparticle, named exciton. After separation of centre of gravity and relative orbital motion a series of bound exciton states (n=1,2,3…) are located below the band gap. Solving the Schrödinger equation the binding energy in 3D is R * E X (3D) ,n 1,2,.... n n2 *e4 Where R* is the Rydberg energy by R* 2 2 2 2 with µ* as reduced effective mass. It 32 0 defines a series of exciton states which can be populated. In analogy to the hydrogen problem the respective orbital wave function for n=1 is X 1 r (r) exp( ) n1 3/ 2 a0 a0 2 X 4 0 With exciton Bohr radius a (3D) and r=re-rh is the 3D relative electron-hole 0 *e2 coordinate. In k-Space the wave function represented by 3/ 2 X 8 a0 n1 (k) 2 2 2 (1 a0 k ) The k-space representation is important to estimate the oscillator strength of excitonic processes. For discussion of PL excitation spectra and the bleaching of exciton absorption it is important to consider the influence of unbound electron-hole states above the ionization limit (E>0). It is expressed by the Sommerfeld factor 2 R * /( E ) 3D 3D g CEF | E0 (r 0) 1 exp(2 R * /( Eg ) This equation describes the enhancement of absorption above the band gap due to correlated electron-hole pairs. Since equ. Above diverges for Eg one observes a “tooth-like” absorption line.

  • The Quantum Condition and an Elastic Limit
    Send Orders for Reprints to [email protected] Open Chemistry Journal, 2014, 1, 21-26 21 Open Access The Quantum Condition and an Elastic Limit Frank Znidarsic P.E. Registered Professional Engineer, State of Pennsylvania Abstract: Charles-Augustin de Coulomb introduced his equations over two centuries ago. These equations quantified the force and the energy of interacting electrical charges. The electrical permittivity of free space was factored into Cou- lomb’s equations. A century later James Clear Maxwell showed that the velocity of light emerged as a consequence this permittivity. These constructs were a crowning achievement of classical physics. In spite of these accomplishments, the philosophy of classical Newtonian physics offered no causative explanation for the quantum condition. Planck’s empirical constant was interjected, ad-hoc, into a description of atomic scale phenomena. Coulomb’s equation was re-factored into the terms of an elastic constant and a wave number. Like Coulomb’s formulation, the new formulation quantified the force and the energy produced by the interaction of electrical charges. The Compton frequency of the electron, the energy levels of the atoms, the energy of the photon, the speed of the atomic electrons, and Planck’s constant, spontaneously emerged from the reformulation. The emergence of these quantities, from a classical analysis, extended the realm of clas- sical physics into a domain that was considered to be exclusively that of the quantum. Keywords: Atomic radii, photoelectric effect, Planck’s constant, the quantum condition. 1. INTRODUCTION with displacement. The Compton frequency, of the electron, emerges as this elasticity acts upon the mass of the electron.

  • Permanent and Variable Constants of the Living Universe
    Permanent and Variable Constants of the Living Universe Changing Constants Circlon constant = θ Circlon Constant θ Bohr Radius = ao Mass length of Hydrogen = HM/ao Electron/Proton size and mass ratio = E/P = 1 Electron/Proton charge energy = iE α 137 Classical electron radius = re Fine Structure Constant = α = θ2 1 = 1 θ 11.7 True Constants Speed of Photons = Co Planck’s Constant h = lMC Photon Mass-Length Constant = Y =lM Photon Angular Momentum = YC/2π Dimensional Constant of Matter = θao These twelve constants govern the mechanics of how the hydrogen atom emits and absorbs photons. The first seven of these are not true constants because in the Living Universe they evolve with the decreasing mass of the electron. The last five are permanent constants and do not change with the passage of time. Circlon constant θ = 1/11.7062 The circlon constant (θ=√1/α) is the square root of the fine structure constant and is the ratio dictating the size between the many layers of scale within the structure of the atom. θ is the size ratio between the circlon shape’s different layers of coils. The true meaning of the fine structure constant α has long been one of the great- est mysteries of physics. It has a dimensionless value of 1/137.036 and frequently pops up within the equations of quantum mechanics without anyone being able to determine exactly just where it came from. As we will see here, it defines the dimensions of the circlon structures that make up the electron and proton and the photon links between them.

  • Bohr Model of Atom Hc Hf  E  E  I F  • De Broglie Explanation on Quantized Angular Momentum
    Algebra-based Physics II The Nature of Atom Nov. 22th: Chap 30.1-2: • Heisenberg uncertainty principle ΔxΔp ; ΔEΔt x 2 2 • Rutherford scattering • Line spectra • Bohr model Bohr Bohr Einstein Heisenberg Another way to write the HUP is the following: This is a statement of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Et Principle for Energy and Time: 2 We cannot know exactly the energy of a particle when it’s in a particular state of a physical system and also know precisely the time interval that it remains in that state. Or, the shorter the lifetime of a particle in a particular state, the greater the uncertainty in its energy. Example: Suppose an electron is confined to a box that is roughly the size of an atom, say 0.5 A on each side. Take this distance to be equal to the uncertainty in the electron’s position and calculate the minimum uncertainty in its momentum. Then, assume that this uncertainty in momentum is equal to the magnitude of the electron’s momentum at some arbitrary time and calculate the electron’s kinetic energy. 34 6.62610 24 Solution: yp py 1.0610 kg m/s y 2 2y (4 )(0.51010) 2 24 2 1 2 p (1.0610 ) 19 Now assume p = py: KE mv 6.1710 J 2 2m 2(9.111031) 4 eV This is on the order of atomic energies! So the HUP tells us that an electron confined to a box the size of an atom must have an energy ~ 5 eV. Thus, it is bouncing around quite rapidly, ~1.2 × 106 m/s.

Figure 19.1 Dalton proposed that atoms were the smallest particles that make up matter and that they were indestructible. With his model, Dalton could predict most of what was known about chemistry at the time. The Dalton model of the atom was replaced when J.J. Thomson established in 1897 that the atom was divisible.

  • Quantum Mechanics, Cosmic Acceleration and CMB Radiation by U
    Global Journal of Science Frontier Research Physics and Space Science Volume 12 Issue 4 Version 1.0 June 2012 Type : Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Inc. (USA) Online ISSN: 2249-4626 & Print ISSN: 0975-5896 Quantum Mechanics, Cosmic Acceleration and CMB Radiation By U. V. S. Seshavatharam & S. Lakshminarayana Andhra University, Visakhapatnam, India Abstract - Based on the big bang concepts - in the expanding universe, rate of decrease in CMBR temperature is a measure of the cosmic rate of expansion. If universe is accelerating, CMBR temperature must decrease continuously. It is noticed that, Bohr radius of hydrogen atom, quanta of the angular momentum and the fine structure ratio - are connected with the large scale structure of the massive expanding universe. In the accelerating universe, as the space expands, in hydrogen atom, distance between proton and electron increases and is directly proportional to the size of the universe. ‘Rate of decrease in the laboratory fine structure ratio’ is a measure of cosmic rate of expansion. Considering the integral nature of number of protons (of any nucleus), integral nature of ℏ can be understood. Obtained value of the present Hubble constant is 70.75 Km/sec/Mpc. Instead of the Planck scale, initial conditions can be represented with the Coulomb scale. Finally it can be suggested that, if the primordial universe is a natural setting for the creation of black holes and other non-perturbative gravitational entities, throughout its journey, the whole universe is a primordial (growing and rotating) black hole. Keywords : Reduced Planck’s constant, Fine structure ratio, Bohr radius, Cosmic mass, Coloumb scale, CMB radiation, Cosmic acceleration, Light speed rotation and Primordial cosmic black hole.
