Sharma San Diego Quiz # 3 (Jan 28, 2005) Problem 1: Weapons of Mass Destruction [10 pts] (a) How much energy is released in the explosion of a fission bomb containing 3.0kg of fissionable material? Assume that 0.10% of the rest mass is converted to released energy? (b) What mass of TNT would have to explode to provide the same energy release? Assume that each mole of TNT liberates 3.4MJ of energy on exploding. The molecular weight of TNT is 0.227kg/mol. (c) For the same mass of explosive, how much more effective are nuclear explosions than TNT? This is to say, compare the fractions of the rest mass that are converted to energy in each case. Problem 2: Designing A Photocell [10 pts] Light of wavelength 200nm falls on an aluminum surface. In metallic aluminum 4.2 eV are required to remove the electron. What is the kinetic energy of (a) the fastest (b) the slowest photoelectrons? (c) What is the stopping potential (including sign) with respect to the photocathode for this wavelength? (d) If the intensity of incident light is 2.0W/m2, what is the average rate per unit area at which photons strike the aluminum surface? (e) What is the cutoff wavelength for aluminum? quiz3solutions.nb 1 Physics 2D, Winter 2005 Quiz 3 Solutions 1. Weapons of mass destruction? (a) Only 0.003 kg of the fission bomb is converted to energy. Thus we have 2 8 2 14 E = meffective c = 0.003 kg 3 µ 10 meters second º 2.7 µ 10 Joules (b) A good way to do this is using the concept of unit conversion.

We already know the mass equivalent, since in part (a), we found this energy from precisely the mass equivalent, 0.003 kg. We compute 0.003 kg -10 f2 = ÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅ1.8µ107ÅÅÅÅ kgÅÅÅÅÅ º 1.7 µ 10 Finally, the ratio of these fractions is (I prefer to divide the bigger by the smaller, but either way is fine, so long as you know what the result means). 6 f1 f2 º 6 µ 10 º 6 million 1 So, fission is 6 million times more effective than TNT (or TNT is ÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅ6 millionthÅÅÅÅÅÅÅÅ as effective as fission). ê 2. Designing a Photocell (a) The energy of the incoming photon, and therefore the initial kinetic energy of the electron, is Eg = h c l = 1240 eV nm 200 nm = 6.2 eV We are told the work function is f = 4.2 eV.

Most electrons lose more energy as they escape, either because they are more tightly bound to atoms on the surface, or because they are coming from atoms below the surface (and escaping from below the surface takes energy). The point is that some electrons don't have any kinetic energy at all by the time they escape, so they just barely leave the surface, and then don't go anywhere. Kmin = 0.

Abstract Due to the interaction of physics and astrophysics we are witnessing in these years a splendid synthesis of theoretical, experimental and observational results originating from three fundamental physical processes. They were originally proposed by Dirac, by Breit and Wheeler and by Sauter, Heisenberg, Euler and Schwinger. For almost seventy years they have all three been followed by a continued effort of experimental verification on Earth-based experiments. The Dirac process, e+e 2γ, has been by − → far the most successful. It has obtained extremely accurate experimental verification and has led as well to an enormous number of new physics in possibly one of the most fruitful experimental avenues by introduction of storage rings in Frascati and followed by the largest accelerators worldwide: DESY, SLAC etc. The Breit–Wheeler process, 2γ e+e , although conceptually simple, being the inverse process of the Dirac one, → − has been by far one of the most difficult to be verified experimentally. Only recently, through the technology based on free electron X-ray laser and its numerous applications in Earth-based experiments, some first indications of its possible verification have been reached. The vacuum polarization process in strong electromagnetic field, pioneered by Sauter, Heisenberg, Euler and Schwinger, introduced the concept of critical electric 2 3 field Ec = mec /(e ).

    Insights into neutrino decoupling gleaned from considerations of the role of electron mass E. Grohs∗ Department of Physics, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109, USA George M. Fuller Department of Physics, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, California 92093, USA Abstract We present calculations showing how electron rest mass influences entropy flow, neutrino decoupling, and Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) in the early universe. To elucidate this physics and especially the sensitivity of BBN and related epochs to electron mass, we consider a parameter space of rest mass values larger and smaller than the accepted vacuum value. Electromagnetic equilibrium, coupled with the high entropy of the early universe, guarantees that significant numbers of electron-positron pairs are present, and dominate over the number of ionization electrons to temperatures much lower than the vacuum electron rest mass. Scattering between the electrons-positrons and the neutrinos largely controls the flow of entropy from the plasma into the neu- trino seas. Moreover, the number density of electron-positron-pair targets can be exponentially sensitive to the effective in-medium electron mass. This en- tropy flow influences the phasing of scale factor and temperature, the charged current weak-interaction-determined neutron-to-proton ratio, and the spectral distortions in the relic neutrino energy spectra. Our calculations show the sen- sitivity of the physics of this epoch to three separate effects: finite electron mass, finite-temperature quantum electrodynamic (QED) effects on the plasma equation of state, and Boltzmann neutrino energy transport. The ratio of neu- trino to plasma-component energy scales manifests in Cosmic Microwave Back- ground (CMB) observables, namely the baryon density and the radiation energy density, along with the primordial helium and deuterium abundances.

ABSTRACT The dynamics of relativistically strong electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation in hot electron-positron plasma is investigated. The possibility of finding localized stationary structures of EM waves is explored. It is shown that under certain conditions the EM wave forms a stable localized soliton-like structures where plasma is completely expelled from the region of EM field location.

  • Conversion Factors
    Conversion Factors Conversion factors are ratios of one object to another object. A ratio is a way of comparing two quantities. The quantities can be compared in three different ways: a to b, a:b, or a/b. At the local grocery store, a case of soda contains 24 cans. We can express the ratio in three forms: (a to b) 24 cans of soda to each case of soda (a:b) 24 cans of soda: 1 case of soda (a/b) 24 cans of soda/1 case of soda This chapter uses conversion factors frequently to solve problems. Conversion factors are ratios written in the fraction form (a/b). In this chapter, there are three major conversion factors we will learn to use: A universal conversion factor: 1 mole of chemical contains 6.02 x 1023 molecules (or atoms) A molar mass conversion factor: 1 mole of chemical weighs the molar mass of the chemical A chemical formula conversion factor: 1 mole of chemical contains some number of moles of atoms If the chemical in the three conversion factors was CuCl2, then the three conversion factors would be: 23 1 mole of CuCl2 contains 6.02 x 10 molecules of CuCl2 1 mole of CuCl2 weighs 134.6 grams CuCl2 (the molar mass) 1 mole of CuCl2 contains 2 moles of chlorine atoms 1 The most common way that chemists represent ratios is in a fraction form. The three conversion factors would look like this in the fraction form: 1 mole CuCl2 1 mole CuCl2 1 mole CuCl2 23 6.02 x 10 molecule CuCl2 134.6 g CuCl2 2 mole Cl atoms Each of these conversion factors can be written in the inverse form.
