Question
A dbuteron and an alpha particle are accelerated with the same accelerating potential. Which one of the two has:
  1. Greater value of de-Broglie wavelength, associated with it and
  2. Less kinetic energy? Explain.
✓

Answer

  1. deutron

$\lambda = \frac{\text{h}}{\sqrt{2\text{mqV}}}$

$\frac{\lambda_d}{\lambda_{\alpha}}=\sqrt{\frac{m_\alpha{q_\alpha}}{m_d{q_d}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{2m_d}\times{2q_d}}{m_d{q_d}}}$

$=\frac{2}{1}$

$\Rightarrow\lambda_{d} > \lambda_{\alpha}$ 

  1. deuteron

KE = qV

$\therefore$ $q_{\alpha}>q_{d}$

for the same accelerating potential, we have

$(KE)_d>(KE){\alpha}$

The wavelength of light in a medium is $\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{\mu},$ where $\lambda$ is the wavelength in vacuum. A beam of red light $(\lambda_0=720\text{nm})$ enters into water. The wavelength in water is $\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{\mu}=540\text{nm}.$ To a person under water does this light appear green?

In the Rutherford's nuclear model of the atom, the nucleus (radius about $10^{-15} m$ ) is analogous to the sun about which the electron move in orbit (radius $\approx 10^{-10} m$ ) like the earth orbits around the sun. If the dimensions of the solar system had the same proportions as those of the atom, would the earth be closer to or farther away from the sun than actually it is? The radius of earth's orbit is about $1.5 \times 10^{11} m$. The radius of sun is taken as $7 \times 10^8 m$.
